The Los Angeles Dodgers announced they reinvited a group of self-described "queer and trans nuns" to attend the team's Pride Night game in June.

The team originally disinvited the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence from its June 16 Pride Night festivities after several Catholic groups and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) expressed concerns about the team honoring a group that they said uses overt anti-Catholic imagery. The canceled invitation prompted a wave of criticism of the team.

In response, the Dodgers apologized to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and committed to honoring the group once again.

"After much thoughtful feedback from our diverse communities, honest conversations within the Los Angeles Dodgers organization and generous discussions with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the Los Angeles Dodgers would like to offer our sincerest apologies to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, members of the LGBTQ+ community and their friends and families," the team said in a statement on Monday.

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence issued a statement last week that accused the Dodgers of "capitulat[ing] to hateful and misleading information from people outside their community who target not only the LGBTQQ++ but also women's autonomy over their bodies, people and communities of color, and other faiths and nationalities." The sisters' motto is "go and sin some more," which perverts the words of Jesus to "go and sin no more."

The Dodgers said the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence would take the field with the team on June 16, and the team was "pleased to share that they have agreed to receive the gratitude of our collective communities for the lifesaving work that they have done tirelessly for decades."

"In the weeks ahead, we will continue to work with our LGBTQ+ partners to better educate ourselves, find ways to strengthen the ties that bind and use our platform to support all of our fans who make up the diversity of the Dodgers family," the team said.

The swift reversal was harshly criticized by a number of prominent Catholics, including Rubio, who said the team's reversal was shameful but unsurprising.

"Today our great country is controlled by socio-political ruling elites who don't just tolerate anti-Christian bigotry, they encourage & celebrate it," the senator tweeted.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) compared the Dodgers' backtrack to Disney's feud with Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL).

"And the hand-wringers wonder why so many regular Americans applaud Ron DeSantis taking on Disney," the congressman tweeted.

CatholicVote, a political action group that, along with Rubio, initially highlighted the Dodgers' invitation of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, said the team had become the "Bud Light of baseball," referencing a conservative boycott of the beer company over transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney's social media promotion.

"Chalices filled with yogurt to look like semen? Pole dancing on a crucifix? 'Condom savior mass?' Gay bars to ridicule the Stations of the Cross? [Dodgers] [MLB] really? You support this?" the group tweeted.

The controversy over the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence's invitation to the Dodgers Pride Night also prompted the mayor of Anaheim to invite the group to join her at a Los Angeles Angels game, an invitation that was condemned by the Catholic Diocese of Orange.

"The decision to openly embrace a group whose demeaning behavior is anti-Catholic and anti-Christian is misguided and disrespectful to the sisters of the Catholic Church who minister in Orange County and selflessly dedicate their lives to God's underserved people," the diocese said in a statement Monday. "We cannot condone any actions that have historically shown such high levels of disregard for the sincerely held beliefs of the faithful."
