The Washington national pitcher, Trevor Williams, was one of the louder voices that condemned the Los Angeles Dodgers for organizing the brotherhood of perpetual indulgence in its stadium in 2023.
The Dodgers invited, uninvied and then reinvied the group for their festivities of night pride. The Drag Nun anti -Catholic group was honored with the team’s community hero prize for its service to the LGBTQ+community.

Williams and other Dodgers players were far from being well with having the group there. In an interview with Bishop Robert Barron, he agreed that Catholics should speak when the Catholic Church is being attacked directly as it was almost two years ago.
“It becomes absurd. If this will continue to happen, what are we doing?” Williams said in the conversation published on Thursday. “Baseball stages should be a place where everyone feels welcome, like 100%. We should all feel welcome there. But that was clearly against a certain religion. If you do not draw the line in the sand, who will do it ? “
The 32 -year -old San Diego native recalled the circumstances and asked him at that time if he was going to say something.
Williams said he thought a lot about what he meant.
“Going through the whole discernment process: how do I say it? How am I charitable, what do I call this? That it was a goal on our back, “he told the Bishop. “But what they were doing and very bad was very shameless.”
Williams criticized Dodgers to organize the group, saying in a statement that “undermines the values of respect and inclusion that any organization must trust.”

He said the reactions were “overwhelmingly positive.”
“One of the few times in my life in which I really felt the power of the prayer of others. I could be the head of that.
“We discovered that we were pregnant in the middle of this. We called our daughter Monica Margaret for that grace we receive from the sacred heart.”
Williams said a few weeks later that he felt “mentally exhausted” upon receiving questions about the terrible experience. He said he was in Houston while the nationals were wrapping a series with the stars and could return to Washington early because he was ready to launch the next day.
He said he arrived at the airport early and prayed the rosary while sitting in the food court, looking for some kind of grace to know what he did. He said he looked around and found nothing that would have been a sign for him.
Williams said he got up and sat alone at a different door away from the airport crowd.
“Spiders to my side was this little nun. She sits right by my side. And I am as if you were joking? This is my grace,” he said. “I approach her and I have my travel bag with me and my small altar kit, so I had this prayer card of sister Wilhelmina … so I put myself up and I say: ‘Thank you for your witness from The witness of the Church witness.
Williams revealed that the nun did not speak English, but was glad to accept her prayer card.

“Those little and small thanks that I got in this process were, you know, God put me in this sand as a baseball to speak against this, gave me my faith and all the signs point to this moment. We go to the Next week, I had to say something.
