Three Christian organizations will host a prayer vigil on the west steps of the California state Capitol in Sacramento on Monday as a member of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is honored inside by elected officials.<\/p>\n
The California Family Council (CFC), the American Council, and the California Catholic Conference are hosting the vigil in response to Sen. Scott Wiener\u2019s (D-San Francisco) decision to recognize \u201cSister Roma,\u201d a member of the drag performers accused of mocking Christianity and Catholicism, on the Senate floor.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s disheartening to see the California Legislature honor a group characterized by its mockery of Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular,\u201d CFC President Jonathan Keller remarked in a press release. \u201cBy promoting the profane \u2018Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,\u2019 these elected leaders are endorsing mockery, hatred, and blasphemy. This ceremony is deeply offensive towards millions of Californians across the Golden State.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe vigil is not a political protest but a time of solemn prayer and worship,\u201d it continues.<\/p>\n
Wiener\u2019s invitation was met with condemnation by California Senate Republicans, who drafted a letter in opposition.<\/p>\n
The letter said the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence \u201cis well known for their public denigration of the Catholic faith,\u201d adding, \u201cWe respectfully request the withdrawal of this invitation, as it sends a troubling message to Californians of all faiths.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile the California State Senate serves as a symbol for many values, it should not be associated with disrespect or hatred towards those with differing religious ideologies.\u201d<\/p>\n
