California Lawmakers Will Honor Anti-Catholic Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Member

California lawmakers plan to honor a member of the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” despite backlash over the Los Angeles Dodgers also honoring the anti-Catholic drag group.

The “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” is an organization of men who dress in drag queen versions of Catholic religious habits and claim to have a “ministry,” according to its website.

The California State Legislature’s LGBTQ Caucus will honor Michael Williams, a member of the “Sisters” who goes by “Sister Roma” and uses “she/her” pronouns.

“For more than three decades, Sister Roma has been one of the most outspoken and globally recognized members of San Francisco’s Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,” the caucus said in an announcement about its 2023 “Pride Honorees.”

The caucus said that every year, it invites honorees from around the state to attend a daylong celebration in the state capitol.

“The LGBTQ Caucus recognizes these incredible people for their efforts in helping to advance representation, as well as for being an inspiration to the LGBTQ+ community and its allies,” the caucus said.

The legislative caucus said Williams has fought “on the front lines” of the war against HIV/AIDS and “dedicated more than half her life to community service, activism and fundraising.”

“As an event producer and tireless volunteer, Roma has helped raise well over $1 million dollars for countless charities and LGBTQ organizations,” the lawmakers said.

The Dodgers plan to present a “Community Hero Award” to the Los Angeles chapter of the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.”

After backlash from Catholic organizations, the Dodgers said they had pulled the group from the list of award recipients for the team’s “Pride Night” celebration before their June 16 home game.

However, when LA Pride backed out of “Pride Night,” the Dodgers re-invited the anti-Catholic drag group and apologized to them.

Members of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence go by names like Sister T’aint A Virgin, Sister Risqué of the Sissytine Chapel, and Sister Edith Myflesh. The group also mocks the process of becoming a Catholic nun by having members become a postulant, then a novice, and finally a fully professed “sister” with a black veil. One of the group’s founders originally used old habits used by real Catholic nuns.

“Go forth and sin some more!” is the group’s motto.

Back in 2007, members of the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” trickedthe archbishop of San Francisco into giving them the Eucharist so they could defile it.

On Easter this year, the group put on a “Jesus and Mary-themed striptease” that involved a performer “writhing upside down on a large wooden cross,” the San Francisco Chronicle reported. They also had shirtless men compete to be crowned the “hunkiest” Jesus.

“These are just a few examples of the SPI’s vile and diabolical actions which go far beyond parody or satire – they are blasphemous and deeply offensive to Christians everywhere,” CatholicVote, a Catholic nonprofit, wrote in a letter to the Dodgers protesting the drag group’s award.

Last month during the Dodgers controversy, the California LGBTQ Caucus released a statement slamming the team.

“It is truly disappointing the Los Angeles Dodgers have caved to pressure from mostly out-of-state conservative organizations and Florida Senator Marco Rubio to remove the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence from its upcoming LGBTQ+ Pride Night,” the caucus said.

“They are not an anti-Catholic group,” the lawmakers said. “Pride Month is about supporting and uplifting every member of the LGBTQ+ community, not just when it’s easy and not when it’s not controversial. If you can’t support all queer people, don’t pretend to support any of them.”

The caucus added that it stands in solidarity with LA Pride, which had backed out of the Dodgers’ “Pride Night” when the team disinvited the “Sisters.”

William Shatner Answers Whether He Plans To Return To Space

Hollywood star William Shatner recently revealed whether he plans to return to space after traveling there on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin spacecraft in 2021, suggesting the trip was likely a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The 92-year-old actor compared the prospect to “revisiting a love affair” and said maybe it would be best to “let it alone,” Fox News reported.

“No, I probably would not want to go back,” Shatner said. “What I experienced was not so much the flight into space but my observation. Everybody knows we live on a small rock, and that up to 12,500 feet, oxygen is there.”

“And after that, as you go higher, you get into a dead zone,” he added. “So there’s the Karman line is 50 miles up. Oxygen is two miles up. We live on a small rock. I saw the beginning of the curvature of the Earth.”

“If I followed through, I could make a circle of this rock we live on,” Shatner continued. “We are so negligible. We are so nothing. We are this small rock and this negligible solar system which is beside a mediocre star in a galaxy that is barely larger. We’re nothing. We are nothing and that’s what I saw. And what else I saw was the tragedy of the extinction of life.”

Shatner, best known for his legendary role as Captain James T. Kirk in “Star Trek” TV shows and movies, is reportedly heading back to the small screen where he will lead a new reality competition series on Fox titled “Stars on Mars.” The series will take celebrities out of their cushy lifestyles and show them residing in close quarters in a Mars colony simulation.

Contestants reportedly include cycling champion Lance Armstrong, “Vanderpump Rules” star Tom Schwartz, and professional wrestler and UFC fighter Ronda Rousey.

“Stars on Mars” debuts on Fox on June 5.
