A prominent conservative Catholic organization, CatholicVote, is calling on Vice President Kamala Harris to publicly disavow the "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence," a drag queen group known for their provocative performances and mockery of Christian symbols.
This demand comes in the wake of revelations that Harris was photographed with a member of the group during a pride parade in San Francisco in 2019.
According to The Post Millennial, CatholicVote released an advertisement on Monday, spotlighting the Vice President's association with the controversial group. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, who dress in attire reminiscent of nuns, are known for their promotion of the LGBTQ+ agenda and their irreverent treatment of Christian symbols and sacraments. The individual with whom Harris posed is LGBTQ activist Sister Roma, a gay pornography director and a regular fixture at SF Pride and the Castro Street Fair.
Brian Burch, President of CatholicVote, did not mince words in his criticism of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. In an interview with Fox News, he described the group as "one of the most vile, bigoted and offensive anti-Catholic organizations in America. Despite the group's denial of fostering anti-Catholic sentiments, their actions tell a different story. Burch detailed how the group has used Christian symbols inappropriately, including using the crucifix as a sex prop and mocking the Virgin Mary. He further called on Vice President Harris to distance herself from this group, stating, "And yet, Kamala Harris proudly stood with them and their founder. We are calling on Kamala Harris to disavow this highly offensive anti-Catholic hate group.
The advertisement released by CatholicVote is a 30-second clip showcasing the drag queens' lewd displays involving Christian symbols. The narration accuses the group of intentionally mocking and degrading Christians through their imitation of Roman Catholic nuns. The ad concludes with a pointed statement: "Kamala Harris stands with they/them, not with you.
Fox News reported that CatholicVote plans to distribute the ad to one million Catholic voters in swing states and 750,000 subscribers on its email list. This move underscores the importance of the Christian voting block in any presidential election.
Vice President Harris has previously drawn criticism from the Christian community for her comments and actions. For instance, her response to a shout of Jesus is Lord at a campaign stop, suggesting that the individuals were at the wrong rally, sparked backlash from people of faith. Additionally, her decision to send a video message rather than attend the annual Al Smith dinner, a benefit for Catholic charities, was met with disapproval, including from former President Donald Trump.
Despite these controversies, Harris suggested that electing her as the next President would be part of fulfilling Gods work on earth. "In just nine days, we have the power to decide the fate of our nation for generations to come. And on this day, then on this beautiful Sunday morning, I am reminded God expects us to help Him," Harris said. "We got work to do," she added. This statement, met with laughter and applause from some in the audience, further highlights the complex relationship between the Vice President and the religious community.
