'Queer nuns' return to public event at San Francisco's 'gay-friendly' Most Holy Redeemer parish
http://calcatholic.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?id=bdca8e2a-01c2-4427-a7fd-0b2bd12a552eA fundraising event on behalf of orphans in Chile sponsored by Rainbow World Fund, "an all-volunteer international humanitarian service agency based in the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) and friends community," was scheduled yesterday afternoon at Ellard Hall, the parish hall of San Francisco's Most Holy Redeemer Church.
Called the "Great District 8 Chili Cook-Off" because Most Holy Redeemer is located in the city's 8th supervisorial district, the charitable event, according to press accounts, was scheduled to include the first public return of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to Most Holy Redeemer since October 7, 2007, when two members of the group embarrassed San Francisco Archbishop George Niederauer by presenting themselves for communion in drag. The archbishop gave the self-described "queer nuns" communion, but within a week publicly apologized for his actions and issued a statement strongly critical of the group.
