The group's Los Angeles chapter will receive the award over the objections of critics such as Ron DeSantis, the Florida governor and a Republican presidential candidate; Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.); and multiple bishops who have accused the Sisters of blasphemy.
The Sisters are bracing for protests on Friday from members of Church Militant, a right-wing fringe group and others mobilized by the controversy, as well as detractors who have zeroed in on the Dodgers, too.
