Did the the LA Dodgers Overstep?

Did not want to highjack the MLB thread. As a Catholic I find this quite disturbing.

I was glad to see that Marco Rubio weighed in.

I’m more concerned about groomers within the Catholic faith

This is where I immediately went too. Every archdiocese in the country has lost any moral authority in my eyes for the rest of my life.

As a Catholic, I couldn't care less.
I'm more offended by the existence of a group called CatholicVote that presumes to speak for all Catholics.
You are, of course, free to be offended by whatever offends you.

It’s sick and perverse.

I too am concerned about groomers wherever they hide.

Then you don’t have to worry about what the Dodgers are doing

[Jockey]

I worry that we don’t hate and discriminate enough. Lucky for us, Catholics and evangelicals are hard at work.

Seriously, though, any person that uses “groomers” or “woke” in a non- comical way is a blathering moron.

FFS, maybe read up on who they are and what they do before getting all outraged. They've been around for years.

I’m far more concerned that they had a day honoring dentists, given the rampant crimes those people commit.

Just an excuse for fauxrage.     Yawn.   

[WellsstreetWanderer]

This group invades and disrupts Catholic services. They are not benign and ,as a Dodger fan of long standing, I feel the management has tainted the brand. Great number of Dodger fans are Latino and this can't sit well with them. You won't see Imams or Rabbis mocked on the field why only Catholics?

Do Imams or rabbis also molest little boys?

Yep. Somehow drag shows are now a problem.

Very true and probably your very best post, Brother Rico.

No matter how much somebody wants to offend us, our Savior taught us to turn the other cheek.

Are the Dodgers nuts? Probably. But do the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence bother me? No. I'm a practicing Catholic and a weekly Mass-goer (sometimes more frequently) and I actually find the bizarre sisters amusing. Any of us who went to Roman Catholic schools faced off against Nuns who made the Bizarre Sisters tame by comparison.

We Catholics have a whole lot more to worry about than the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Like, perhaps, our own promise to love God with our whole heart, mind and soul and love our neighbor as ourselves!!!!!!!

We should defer to Joy Behar

Yes, of course.
So do parents, teachers, Scout leaders, coaches, siblings, police, politicians, neighbors, etc..
But somehow drag queens are scary.

Drag queens that wear huge wigs and makeup and sing Tina Turner (RIP) covers or showtunes?  I agree.  Totally harmless.  Ive been to drag brunches with kids and its NBD and actually kind of wholesome. Drag queens in hot pants twerking and doing burlesque style routines, that I can see an issue with.  And Ive seen video of kids at both and think kids at the latter is inappropriate and frankly kind of creepy.   Nuance is important, though I'd imagine many of those bothered by drag queens would be bothered if they were saving children from a burning building.

I'll admit, while it doesn't offend or bother me, I'm not sure why drag queen storytime at a school or library is really necessary.  I'd say the same if it was LARP storytime or Civil War Reenactment storytime.
