A problem ignored by San Francisco's archbishops for decades.
I'm Michael Voris coming to you from the Catholic prayer presence outside Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium.
This controversy arose from the decision by the Dodgers to first invite, then disinvite and then re-invite the group known as the "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" — a group that largely mocks Catholic women religious to gain attention for fundraising for various liberal causes.
But what many don't know is the background of this group. Where did they come from? When did they start? How did all this suddenly become a thing? Unsurprisingly, you have to go back not to L.A., but actually to San Francisco in the late 1960s and 1970s, where all sorts of outrageous groups were forming and roaming about trying to draw attention to gay causes.
Most of that activity originated and took place in a neighborhood area of San Francisco known as the "Castro District," which, ironically enough, had been a heavily populated Irish Catholic enclave until all this began.
In the late 1970s, three men arrived from Iowa City with actual nuns' habits they had tricked out of nuns at a convent there, saying, according to press reports, they were just borrowing them for a production of The Sound of Music.
Once in San Francisco, the men donned the habits, on Easter weekend no less, threw themselves into the morass of the Castro District, rose to prominence above the earlier groups and became established as the definitive group dedicated to mocking cultural and traditional values through denigration of mostly Catholic teaching.
In October 1980, they held their first formal fundraiser — a bingo game. An advance write-up in the San Francisco Chronicle immortalized their name as the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
