Salesian Sisters Go Viral for NBA Fandom While the Faith Burns
Salesian Sisters say their viral appearance at the San Antonio Spurs game has drawn an interest in Catholicism.
EWTN News Nightly reports that Salesian Sisters of St. John Bosco have achieved national celebrity status as “diehard” San Antonio Spurs fans after attending an NBA playoff game on May 24, 2026, where they wore jerseys, cheered, and prayed over Catholic player Luke Kornet. Sisters Cherilly Galley and Bernadette Mota expressed delight at the “beautiful” response, citing increased interest in Catholicism and community support. The article frames this as a positive evangelization opportunity, emphasizing themes of joy, fun, and sportsmanship while reducing the religious life to entertainment spectacle. What the article utterly fails to address is how this spectacle represents the complete inversion of religious life and the subordination of sacred things to profane entertainment — a hallmark of the post-conciliar apostasy that has gutted Catholic religious orders of their supernatural purpose.
