Mother Mary Angelica, who started the Eternal Word
Television Network (EWTN) in a monastery garage,
died at her rural monastery in the state of Alabama. Born Rita Rizzo to a poor family in Ohio, she became
known to millions of viewers of her show as Mother
Angelica. Her health had been declining since she suffered a
stroke in 2001. Alabama Governor Robert Bentley was among
those to pay tribute. "She left an indelible mark on Alabama, the Catholic
Church and the world as a whole,'' he said. Pope's reforms polarise the Vatican How many Catholics are there in the world? EWTN's chairman Michael Warsaw said Mother
Angelica would always personify the network. "In the face of sickness and long-suffering trials,
Mother's example of joy and prayerful
perseverance exemplified the Franciscan spirit she
held so dear," he said. Mother Angelica became a nun in Cleveland aged
21 and founded a new monastery near
Birmingham in Alabama in 1962. She launched EWTN after refusing to continue
broadcasting from a secular TV station that she said
was also broadcasting blasphemous films, the Catholic News Agency reported. Although ill health prevented her from appearing
on her "Mother Angelica Live" show towards the
end of her life, old episodes continued to be
broadcast. EWTN claims to be the world's biggest religious
media network. It has 11 channels reaching more
than 250m homes in 145 countries. It also operates
radio stations and newspapers. The network, which has been at times been
criticised by both liberal and conservative Catholics,
says it tries to be loyal to the Vatican and reports
extensively on the Pope's statements and trips
