Los Angeles Dodgers ace pitcher Clayton Kershaw announced the organization's relaunch of a Christian Faith and Family Day while vocalizing his criticisms of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
"I think we were always going to do Christian Faith Day this year, but I think the timing of our announcement was sped up," Kershaw said Monday, according to a report."Picking a date and doing those different things was part of it as well. Yes, it was in response to the highlighting of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence [by the Dodgers]."
"After much thoughtful feedback from our diverse communities, honest conversations within the Los Angeles Dodgers organization and generous discussions with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the Los Angeles Dodgers would like to offer our sincerest apologies to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, members of the LGBTQ+ community and their friends and families," a statement from the Dodgers read.
"I don’t agree with making fun of other people’s religions," the three-time Cy Young Award winner and World Series Champion said."It has nothing to do with anything other than that. I just don't think that, no matter what religion you are, you should make fun of somebody else's religion. So that's something that I definitely don’t agree with."
