Not bad for a girl from Canton, Ohio! Then again, you should NEVER underestimate the resolve of Ohio-bred Catholics. To do otherwise is just foolish.
Yes, Americans are now sending back missionaries of a sort to Europe. The sisters in France now, represent the rebuilding of their order, where their order was established.
People need to remember that Mother Angelica founded EWTN, in the heart of the deep South, in a diocese that is located in a place that is 2% Catholic, out of a "studio" built by cement blocks intended to be a garage. Not a very hopeful begining where one would expect success.
They also need to remember that while she built EWTN from that humble begining, at the same time the USCCB was attempting to create a Catholic network beamed by sattelite to places that had a sattelite dish - a very hopeful begining, with their money and clout, where one would expect success.
They utterly and unequivicobly failed - no two ways about it. She has been an unqualified success.
No word just yet as to the future of EWTN en français... but I would expect it to happen sooner rather than later.
I know it strains my charity a bit, but every time dissidents wince at the mention of Mother A's name, I just curl my toes.
