Wall Street Journal Piece Criticizes LA Dodgers for Honoring Anti-Catholic Group | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A recent opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal sharply criticizes the Los Angeles Dodgers for its decision to honor a transgender group that openly mocks the Catholic faith. Matthew Hennessey says in part "everyone is already welcome at the ballpark. It feels un-American to force-feed culture-war politics alongside the peanuts and Cracker Jack." Matthew Hennessey, an opinion columnist at the Wall Street Journal, joins to share why he felt the need to write the story and what the response has been. At least 2 members of the Dodgers, pitchers Clayton Kershaw and Blake Treinen, are speaking out against the team's honoring of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Hennessey discusses what he thinks of the response of the faithful and Church leaders and whether enough is being done to push back against this. Another recent piece in the Wall Street Journal notes the controversy over the Dodgers and says anti-Catholic sentiment is "an elite pastime." The piece was published by Gerard Baker just hours after Hennessey's piece. Hennessey tells us more about this story and some of the examples that are used. He fills us in on what else he is following. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
