When U.S. bishops greeted a visit of Pope John Paul II with a show that featured Christ as a female mime, she stopped accepting their programming, despite their string-pulling and threats. When Roger Cardinal Mahony of Los Angeles issued a pastoral letter she thought watered down the Real Presence, she critiqued him, point-by-point, on television -- and refused to offer a false apology, even when Cardinal Mahony's machinations got her threatened with interdict (the loss of the Sacraments) and the closure of her community. When still other bishops tried to gain control of EWTN and stifle her loudly orthodox voice, she famously said, "I'll blow the damn thing up before you get your hands on it." Her eyes always focused on the eyes of her Beloved, she was almost blind to the worldly obstacles thrown in her way. She stepped right over them.
God bless Mother Angelica and EWTN.

Mother Angelica: The Remarkable Story of a Nun, Her Nerve, and a Network of Miracles
Sadly I don’t think Mother Angelica is in any condition to fight anyone. It takes a lot to get me to watch a TV evangelist on TV because I think they are all fake. But I have to admit that I Admired Mother Angelica, and I did like watching her show. She told it like it was, and her wit was simply Amazing.
I doubt that there is anyone one left who has the courage to do what she would have done about this Evil mandate if she were able. She would have come out with guns a blazing- Fighting to the death. There is simply no way that she would have rolled over and given in.
I’ve never read this personal account before. Wow!!!
