The LA Dodgers decision to invite, disinvite and then re-invite the LGBT activist group Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence shows they choose advocacy over the altar.

Bishop Robert Barron – the most famous Catholic bishop in the United States – has encouraged a boycott of the Los Angeles Dodgers over their relationship with an anti-Catholic drag queen troupe.

The bishop said Catholics had no other recourse for showing their disapproval "since the Dodgers are clearly not responding to a decent appeal to reason." "The Los Angeles Dodgers have made it clear to Catholics and all people of good will that they think mockery of the sacred beliefs of the Catholic Faith is something that they support and will reward with honors and commendation," Barron told Fox News Digital in an exclusive statement.

He added, "It's not enough for the Catholic laity to experience a catharsis because a bishop has spoken up about this, they need to take action to let the Dodgers organization know that their position is not just disappointing, it is unacceptable."
