New Ad Links Harris To Anti-Catholic Hate Group

A new ad from CatholicVote released Monday shows Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris posing with a longtime member of the anti-Catholic “drag” troupe the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (SPI) at the San Francisco Pride parade in 2019.

Numerous Catholic leaders have denounced the SPI, including Bishop Robert Barron, founder of the popular media outlet and publishing group Word on Fire. Barron describes the SPI as an “anti-Catholic hate group,” and once said of their public “hunky Jesus” performances: “For Catholics, it’s hard to imagine anything more offensive.”

“Why is Kamala Harris posing with the founder of an anti-Catholic hate group?” asks the ad’s voiceover. “They mock our faith.”

The photograph shown at the beginning of the ad was taken at the 2019 iteration of San Francisco’s massive annual pro-LGBTQ event. 

Harris, then a U.S. Senator from California and a candidate for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, posed with both SPI member “Sister Roma” (Michael Williams) and “Saint Honey Mahogany” (James Mitchell), a San Francisco “transgender” activist.

Williams has been a member of SPI since 1987. Mitchell is considered by the anti-Catholic group to be a “saint,” a title given to its various allies who are not official SPI members.

The ad goes on to show a montage of multiple clips of SPI members dressed in lewd costumes mocking nuns and performing sexually suggestive dances on a cross.

“Kamala Harris stands with they/them. Not with you,” says the voiceover in the ad. “Christians can’t stay home November 5.”
