Clayton Kershaw, a star pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, criticized his baseball team in a recent interview for including the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence in its upcoming gay pride night.
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is a self-described “leading-edge Order of queer and trans nuns” with a reputation for satirizing and insulting Christian communities.
“I don’t agree with making fun of other people’s religions,” the Cy Young winner told the Los Angeles Times in a recent interview that aired Monday. “It has nothing to do with anything other than that. I just don’t think that, no matter what religion you are, you should make fun of somebody else’s religion. So that’s something that I definitely don’t agree with.”
