When you give honor to someone, you are giving them recognition for service above and beyond the norm. It may be for heroic action or length of service. Some distinguishing quality or achievement has set them apart. We have honor societies, scholarships, halls of fame, medals, trophies and statues. Those so honored become part of a special class of peers.
Among those honored by the Los Angeles Dodgers are Jackie Robinson who broke the major league baseball color barrier with the Dodgers in 1947, and Dodger broadcaster Vin Scully, a Catholic considered by many to be the greatest baseball announcer of all time. This year, the Dodgers have also chosen to honor the Sister of Perpetual Indulgence, an anti-Catholic hate group of blasphemous perverts dressed as nuns. Move over Jackie, Vin and anyone else the Dodgers have honored over the years. You have company.
Groucho Marx once quipped that he would not want to belong to any club that would accept him as a member. No respectable human being would want to belong to a club that would have the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence as a member. An honor bestowed by the Los Angeles Dodgers organization is now an honor devoid of any significance. If they honor a group that mocks God and all of Christianity, their recognition carries no weight.
It’s not just that the so-called sisters lack respect for the Church and Christianity, where is their own self-respect? Why would anybody put themselves out there for ridicule except to shock people? Yes, they are a hate group, but they unknowingly hate themselves. They do nothing to help their cause, whatever that may be. How far has our society devolved? As appalling as this is, we can have confidence that the Sisters, the Dodgers, and everyone else will face judgement someday.
