According to what I read yesterday, the reversal came because the powerful LA Pride organization back the sisters and threatened to pull out of the event totally. So the Dodgers, realizing the power of that threat caved. They know LA Pride and it's members would be a more detrimental loss than a few Catholics who are not an organized group. Until they feel it in the pocketbook it doesn't mean much that Catholics are upset. If the LA Dioscese or the Conference of Bishops spoke out louder then they might listen. Instead you have the conservative Catholic League and that's about it. I just looked up the story and of course anyone against this is being called homophobic. Pretending these people are like real nuns is the problem. They are performance artists and while they might have some deeds with good intentions, overall their message is not that of the Catholic church.

Truth: "Christians, especially Catholics, are notoriously bad at defending their honor. They’re very good at defending their faith, but they stink at sticking up for themselves against nonbelievers. Think about other major religions in this country. You think a group called the Imams of Perpetual Ramadan would fly? Do you think anyone would accuse Muslims of being anti-inclusion if they protested such a group appearing in Pride Night at a baseball game? Yet, that’s exactly what’s being said about Catholics at the moment. It doesn’t help that Catholics are divided in their own house, with some clinging to traditional values and others preferring modern adaptations."
