@Satirizing the Church
About mentioning the L.A. Dodgers thing in a homily, another approach any time during June a [g]ay [p]ride [month] would be to mention that June 3 is the memorial for Charles Lwanga and Companions. https://www.franciscanmedia.org/saint-of-the-day/saint-charles-lwanga-and-companions/
Or, to meditate on the fact that this month was branded by philanderer Comrade Clinton who, after multitasking on his desk in the Offal Office, was also a bit confused about “what the meaning of is, is.”
June 3 – Charles Lwanga. June 16 – the Sacred Heart. June 24 – St. John the Baptist. June – the month of the Sacred Heart. The Rainbow – symbol of God’s promise.
What’s the hold-up in taking back this month?
“What’s the hold-up in taking back this month?”

Nothing’s holding it up where we live. There will be several highway billboards going up soon proclaiming that June is the month of the Sacred Heart. I just received an email about that from a friend at church.
“Stop Gay ‘Pride’ Nite at Disneyland”

I tried to sign the petition, but the link didn’t work.
I’m actually surprised this is the 1st time for Disneyland. I really imagined they’d done this before. Perhaps I’m thinking of Disneyworld instead.
