Catholic theologian blasts LA Dodgers for honoring fake drag queen nuns: 'Absolutely offensive'

Theologian and former Catholic priest Jonathan Morris calls out the sports team for honoring an anti-Catholic group on 'The Story.'

Catholic theologian and former priest Jonathan Morris is pleading with the Los Angeles Dodgers not to be "hijacked by fringe elements" after the sports team honored drag queens that dress up as nuns to mock religion. 

The LA Dodgers initially announced they would honor the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence at a June 16 event but pulled out after receiving backlash from Christians. The decision was later reversed after LA Pride said they would no longer participate in Pride Night and the drag group was reinvited. Now, Christians nationwide are speaking out against their decision. 

"Pride, personal identity (and) respect... has nothing to do with beating up another religion or beating up somebody else who disagrees with you even on something as deep and personal as sexual identity," Morris told "The Story" on Thursday. "...This lands directly on the shoulders of the Dodgers management...Don't be hijacked by fringe elements. It's pretty simple. It's a call to leadership, and leadership has not been present."

The former Catholic priest contrasted the difference between protesting democratically and protesting in a way that disrespects other religions. 

"The fringe elements of these activists, LGBTQ+, have really taken away from ... a Christian value of respect and of tolerance of all people
