Here is some context
MLB players say drag troupe invited to Dodgers' Pride Night mocks Christianity
The Dodgers this month rescinded their invitation to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to the team’s annual LGBTQ Pride event on June 16 before they did a second 180 and reinvited the decades-old charitable group of performers, who describe themselves as a "leading-edge Order of queer and trans nuns."
But rather than put the dispute to bed, the Dodgers' invitation, rejection and re-engagement with the Sisters apparently has sparked anger in the two high-profile players, who believe the group is anti-Catholic.
"As a devout Catholic, I am deeply troubled by the Dodgers' decision to re-invite and honor the group 'The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence' at their Pride Night this year," Williams said in a statement Tuesday. "To invite and honor a group that makes a blatant and deeply offensive mockery of my religion, and the religion of over 4 million people in Los Angeles county alone, undermines the values of respect and inclusivity that should be upheld by any organization."
And last week, at the behest of Kershaw, the Dodgers hastily scheduled a Christian Faith and Family Day at Dodger Stadium on July 30.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
