Have you heard of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence? 

You might know about the L.A. Dodgers baseball team. I will skip the history, but they are no longer in Brooklyn. 

Also, the month of June 2023 is being celebrated or commemorated as Pride Month. This has not been a commercial success, for some companies. You probably know about Bud Light Beer and Target Department Stores. Both have lost huge amounts of money. 

You probably heard the stories.

In Los Angeles California, the Dodgers’ management decided to celebrate with entertainment from a group known as the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.” This is a group of biological males, who dress something like Roman Catholic nuns and entertain audiences. 

They can explain who they are, and what they promote, but it is clear that they are not Roman Catholic, and they don’t claim to be any kind of Christian. Many Catholics believe that the group is mocking their church. Christians of many denominations are offended by them. It is easy to be offended by gay or trans men who mock Christians at public events.

The group entertained the audience at a baseball game, apparently for about an hour before the game started. Outside of the stadium, Roman Catholics gathered to protest, and Christians from other denominations joined them. The protest had a thousand or more participants. 

There are many stories about this event on the Internet. I watched some of them, and I was surprised to hear “Ave Maria” played on the bagpipes. That was an attention-getter.

At the same time as the protest, the seats were mostly empty in the stadium. Only a few people chose to attend the game and sit through the entertainment from the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. The results look similar to the fallout on Bud Light and Target. 

There seems to be a trend.

So, what should we think about this disaster?

I am writing as a Christian, but not a Roman Catholic. Everyone else has their own position, and we don’t all agree. You are certainly entitled to your opinion.

There is one important question: Who owns the microphone? Or who has the right to speak, and who should stay quiet and go away?

Modern culture is not democratic.

A small number of people formed an entertainment team, in a world population of about eight billion. Also, a small number of managers in one baseball team, made a decision. We don’t know their number, but the fans of the L.A. Dodgers number in the millions, probably many millions. Roman Catholics, and their sympathizers, also number in the many millions.

If the question about inviting the “Nuns” to entertain baseball fans was put to a vote, they probably would not be invited, and there would be no story to talk about.

But the ‘majority’ opinion of very few prevailed, and many thousands in the ‘minority’ were offended. This is the new woke math, and we are all participants.

The few who control the media and the decisions are the majority for moral opinions. The actual numerical majority is usually offended.

Today, we have the Internet and electronic media, as vehicles of the tiny-majority opinions. We have come in a full circle in two thousand years.

In the history of the first Christians, the Romans used their power to own everything, and they were the tiny-majority. The story of the death of Jesus on the cross is a good example of brutal Roman power. 

People had a saying, in those times and places: “You have the morals of a Corinthian.” That meant: ‘You have no morals.’ Corinth was the great Sin City of the Roman Empire, and it was home to a few struggling Christians.

That’s a picture of normal life in Corinth, and that is what those Christians lived with every day. We can see who controlled the microphone in that place. Christians were a numerical minority, but each one was a complete majority, in their own life: “Such were some of you.” 

It is critical to vote, to choose who you are, and where your life is going.

We are back to a time when a few important people will tell us what is right and good, and what we should think. Public majority morals are now given to us by a few.

If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.(Joshua 24: 15)
