Fox News reported that the protest was organized by Catholics for Catholics citing an article posted on the organization's website that advised everyone was "welcome to join" what they describe as "thousands of Catholics, Christians, and people of faith for a prayerful procession at Dodger Stadium on Friday, June 16, 2023, in reparations for offenses committed against Jesus Christ and all Christians."
The event was live-streamed by Catholics for Catholics and The Church Militant, an apostolic organization out of Detroit, MI."All are welcome to join this event in reparation for the offenses committed against our Lord Jesus Christ and against all Christians by 'The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,'" the article added.
A Jewish Rabbi in attendance and interviewed by Hernandez for Turning Point USA told the reporter, "If you are anti-Catholic, you’re anti-religion, you’re anti-God, I got a problem with that."

"I love everyone... Anyone who wants to come in and support the Dodgers, I'm all in, we're all in," Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts told the press according to ABC7.
The Dodgers initially had withdrawn the drag group's invitation on May 5th only to reverse the decision after pressure from local politicians and LGBTQ+ activists, apologizing and asking the group to join the event.A representative of the drag group claimed, "The idea of being a fake nun is also a little problematic, mostly because we do take vows of service to the LGBTQ community for nonprofit work and it is the kind of vow that you take for the rest of your life, so it is very similar to the kind of care work a nun would do," according to the news outlet.
Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida gave voice to many Catholics objections to the group's display describing it as an affront to ordained nuns and a lewd mockery of Christianity.
"The Dodgers are honoring an anti-Catholic hate group as community heroes, but they're afraid of airing an ad showing these so-called sisters out in the community," Rubio told Fox News.
The story is ongoing and will be addressed by DC Enquirer in subsequent articles if additional developments arise."It tells you everything you need to know about the Dodgers, Major League Baseball, and the media. They are no longer demanding tolerance, they now promote intolerance and even hatred of Christianity."
