Los Angeles Archbishop José Gomez expressed "disappointment, dismay and pain" over the Dodgers' decision to honor the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
In a statement to City News Service, the Dodgers said, "We do not have comment" on the archdiocese's statements. Bowing to that pressure, the Dodgers on May 5 withdrew the invitation - - only to reverse course on May 22, following criticism from LGBTQ+ groups and elected officials. On that day, the team publicly apologized to the Sisters organization and again invited the group to take part in the Pride Night event.
"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," according to a team statement.
"Join us at Dodger Stadium on 7/30 for Christian Faith and Family Day. Stay after the game to celebrate and be part of a day of worship. Stay tuned for more details," the team tweeted at the time.
