Don't mess with Mother

My favorite Mother Angelica anecdote is this one:

Smarting from her youth in a dysfunctional home, Rita knew one thing - she loved Jesus, and she wanted others to love him. Says Arroyo, "It's really the story of a broken girl who risks everything for the glory of God."
End of the sweet part. Bishops who object to her "orthodox" faith try to take EWTN from her: "I'll blow the damn thing up before you get your hands on it," she shouted at one priest from the national bishops' conference.
