This is Birmingham, Alabama. There was previously not a lot of mixing Baptists with Protestants and/or Catholic traditions.

And then along came ....

and Alabama changed forever. God bless Mother Angelica!

Mother Angelica used to come in the card shop where I worked, back in the early 80's. The manager of the store was Catholic and would just about bust a gut when Mother Angelica came in the store. I mean, she was just beside herself.

I, being non religious at the time, sort of got confused between Mother Teresa and Mother Angelica. It all kind of ran together to me. I was far more interested in boys and rock and roll music at the time.

So the next day I told one of our co workers "Oh, by the way, that famous nun, Mother teresa came in yesterday and Mary gave her 50% discounts on everything she bought."

The stunned look on my co workers face will always stay in my memory!!!
