The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) slammed the Los Angeles Dodgers for choosing an anti-Catholic group to receive its "Community Hero Award."
The Major League Baseball team issued an apology to the anti-Catholic charity and the LGBTQ community, promising to "better educate ourselves." The group was also re-invited to Pride Night to accept the "Community Hero Award." Jessica Chasmar is a digital writer on the politics team for Fox News and Fox Business.

The bishops responded Monday by urging Catholics to say a special prayer, the Litany of the Sacred Heart, on the day the team hosts the group.
"This year, on June 16—the day of the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus—a professional baseball team has shockingly chosen to honor a group whose lewdness and vulgarity in mocking our Lord, His Mother, and consecrated women cannot be overstated," their statement read. "This is not just offensive and painful to Christians everywhere; it is blasphemy."
