'Perpetual Indulgence' Versus Religious Conviction

Since 1979, a group of men has dressed as grotesque parodies of nuns and publicly performed sexualized acts, calling itself the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.” The organization exists to mock Christians in general, and Catholics in particular, for affirming certain truths about life, marriage, and human sexuality. The group has no limits to profaning that which Christians hold sacred. It even organizes outdoor burlesque reenactments of the Crucifixion of Christ.
