**So, two things are essential. Conversion to a profound and deep faith with a life of prayer and sacraments and clear moral teaching and connection of the teaching that the Church has the Holy Spirit and can give us the way."**
What a wonderful answer!

**conversion should be a life-long journey for all of us -- best begun before ordination.**
Agree with this too!

I also had degrading things said to me about EWTN from parish employees.
What gives?

When EWTN promotes something or somebody like the seers of Medjugorje or Bishop Hnilica and a question and answer I didn't agree with (concerned charismatics, but it was too far back to find it again if I am challenged on it), I get angry and upset. Other than occasionally, I don't have a problem with EWTN. I have a problem with Carmelite nuns in full regalia in front of TV cameras. They are supposed to be hidden away in convents like St. Therese and St. Teresa :-). See now that is a stupid stereotype, but only in new church would she have been allowed to come to the forefront imo. In the old church, I don't know if it would be allowed for a nun to start a tv station, or would it? I think not. They would have a thousand reasons why she couldn't.
She and Pat Robertson have something in common. Starting their ministries on a shoestring.
Other than the above, I think EWTN is faithful to church teachings and are fairly reliable for good information and orthodoxy. They often have lots of good pictures, too.

What gives? It's about power. Mama A has no canonical authority, but because she has the truth on her side, she has moral authority. While for the AmChurch hierarchy, it's the other way 'round.
Fun fact: St. Catherine of Siena was not even a member of a religious order (she was a Dominican tertiary, but didn't live in a community or under a rule), but this never stopped her from recalling Popes to their duty. She is a Doctor of the Church.

I have often contemplated this thought: The saints of today are the ones who are speaking out here on FR -- in support of dogma and doctrine while at the same time calling the Catholic bishops in America to task!
It would appear from your example of St. Catherine of Siena that my thoughts are not too far off the mark! LOL!

a prince of the Church is appealing to Rome to have her censured and punished. Well, another Prince of the Church (as Archbishop of Boston, Justin Rigali's a shoo-in for elevation to the College o' Cardinals) is fixing to get his own regularly scheduled program on EWTN.
Roger Mahoney can go pound sand.

Rigali is in Philly. A Capuchin (Bp. O'Malley?) took Boston.
BOTH will get the Red Hat.

"What gives?"
For a simple explanation, I would say possibly envy, but I am sure it is more than that. I think it's more her old-fashioned ways. The habit she and her nuns wear. The reverence at Mass in Irondale and Hanceville. Her outspoken conservative ways. The fact that she doen't tolerate inclusive language and recommends bibles that don't use it.
Heck, she talks about individual sin! And going to confession!
I have heard more than one priest say, "She doesn't even have a degree in theology."
Neither did Catherine of Sienna.
I get the feeling that some priests feel that she is undercutting their moral leadership. Well, if these pastors wouldn't be quoting and promoting new age writers like Fr. Enneagram and would instead latch on to Mother A. and EWTN, their problem might go away.
My major disappointment is that she hasn't had a show with a Tridentine Mass like she has done with some of the Eastern Catholic rites.

"Sure ... and I thought this was common knowledge."
Maybe it is. Maybe I'm the only one that didn't hear. Even my daughter knew, I just found out.
I haven't even been able to get info on how she's doing after her strokes.
And thanks to everybody who answered with more information on this MIRACLE.

One might wonder: why the protest from bishops such as Cardinal Mahony, Archbishop Weakland and Bishop Lynch? |

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in Heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.Matthew 5:11-12

They hate her because she throws the pretensions to the superiority of THEIR ways into their faces and takes away their audiences.
