Mother Angelica's first television series

Mother Angelica began receiving requests for speaking engagements, which led to the development of a video series of her talks taped at a local CBS affiliate Birmingham television station WIAT (then known as WBMG). Her shows aired on CBN Cable (now ABC Family) as well as TBN. According to Mother Angelica's many retellings of the story, she decided that she wanted her own television station after appearing in Chicago as a guest on a show called Among Friends on WCFC TV Channel 38, saying "I have got to have one!!"

Mother Angelica purchased satellite space and EWTN signed on in August 1981 with 4 hours a day of programming, including talk shows, Mother Angelica Live (aired two nights a week), Sunday Mass once a week, and re-runs of older Catholic programs such as Life Is Worth Living with Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. The remainder of the time was filled with shows produced by Catholic dioceses across the country. Other programs occupying the schedule included Christian drama shows produced by the Lutheran Church This is Life and Patterns for Living, some Protestant teaching programs that Mother Angelica determined were in agreement with her understanding of Catholic principles, and children's shows such as Joy Junction and The Sunshine Factory. About a third of programming time consisted of secular content, such as re-runs of The Bill Cosby Show, public domain movies, and cooking and western-themed shows.

Secular content was gradually dropped from 1986 to 1988, and in 1987 satellite distribution was expanded to a more desirable channel and EWTN went 24 hours a day. At this point, the channel began running the rosary daily and added a number of Catholic doctrine teaching shows. Program production gradually increased at the station.

Viewership statistics

EWTN's own promotional information states that it has become the largest religious media network in the world. It transmits 24-hour programming to more than 123 million homes (146 million homes as of February 2008) in 127 countries and 16 territories on more than 4,800 cable systems (5,200 cable systems as of February 2008), wireless cable, direct broadcast satellite (DBS), low power TV and individual satellite users. Though the Catholic cable network claims to have an expansive viewership, critics of the network have been skeptical of the reported numbers through the years. According to a 1994 cover story in the National Catholic ReporterMother Angelica claims to reach 38 million homes in 49 states, and every Latin American capital 24 hours a day, though EWTN has made no scientific studies to measure who really watches. The station does this with a staff of 124 for about $8.5 million a year, while raising about $25 million a year in donations.”[2] For other uses, see Cable (disambiguation). ...

History of programming

In its early history, EWTN ran a wide variety of Catholic-produced programming from various Catholic sources. This ranged from Catholic charismatic programming such as Father Michael Manning to shows focusing on social reform and justice, such as Christopher Closeup, to doctrinal teaching shows hosted by various priests and bishops. Reform movement is a kind of social movement that aims to make a change in certain aspects of the society rather than fundamental changes. ...


In the early 1990s, as EWTN began producing more of its own shows and broadcasting the Mass daily, the network was able to begin fighting some of the progressive trends within the Church. EWTN shows began preaching more explicitly against relativism, as well as rebuking Catholics out of communion with Church in matters of doctrine and morals. The network also showed concern for the way Mass was being celebrated in many parishes, arguing that many churches no longer celebrated the Mass in a reverent manner. In 1992, the daily Mass broadcast by EWTN began using Latin for some of the common prayers of the liturgy. It also reduced the use of contemporary music featuring guitars, drums and piano, and limited the instruments used during the Mass to organ and violin. The Mass also began to feature more use of Gregorian Chant. For the band, see 1990s (band). ...

On Christmas Eve of 1993, Mother Angelica and her order of nuns changed their habit to a more traditional style. This was well received by the viewers, as many faithful Catholics have been disappointed in recent decades to see some modern nuns rejecting outward signs of their faith. Year 1993 (MCMXCIII) was a common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1993 Gregorian calendar). ...


EWTN has programs discussing Non-Catholic beliefs from its own Catholic perspective, such as The Journey Home in which converts to Catholicism, usually from other Christian denominations, indicate their former beliefs, state their reasons for converting, and discuss the spiritual journey that they travelled to reach the Catholic Church (hence the program's title). Guests are usually former Protestant pastors and ministers and occasionally include laypeople who are converts to the Catholic faith. As a Christian ecclesiastical term, Catholic—from the Greek adjective , meaning general or universal[1]—is described in the Oxford English Dictionary as follows: ~Church, (originally) whole body of Christians; ~, belonging to or in accord with (a) this, (b) the church before separation into Greek or Eastern and Latin or...

Confrontations, controversy and criticism

EWTN has been the target of criticism for its socially, politically and theologically conservative tendencies, and has engaged in controversy with persons, organizations and ideas on the other side of the spectrum.


In her live show on EWTN, Mother Angelica criticized a mimed stations of the cross featuring a woman playing Jesus which was viewed by Pope John Paul II at World Youth Day in Denver, Colorado, in 1993. Archbishop Rembert Weakland of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a theological liberal, responded in an editorial to Mother Angelica’s criticisms about the pageant and other post-Vatican II issues in the Catholic Church, saying: "It was one of the most disgraceful, un-Christian, offensive, and divisive diatribes I have ever heard." Mother Angelica’s answer to the Archbishop: "He didn't think a woman playing Jesus was offensive," Mother said of Weakland's criticism.

In 1997, on her live show on EWTN, Mother Angelica publicly criticized Roger Cardinal Mahony of Los Angeles for his pastoral letter on the Eucharist entitled "Gather Faithfully Together: A Guide for Sunday Mass".[4] Upset by the perceived lack of emphasis on transubstantiation, she said, "I’m afraid my obedience in that diocese would be absolutely zero. And I hope everybody else’s in that diocese is zero".[5] She later issued a conditional and reluctant apology.[6] For the band, see 1997 (band). ...

In 1999, Bishop David Foley of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Birmingham in Alabama issued a decree prohibiting priests in his diocese from celebrating Mass in the pre-Vatican II ad orientem position (literally "to the east", with people and priest facing in the same direction) under most circumstances.[7] Though the decree never specifically mentioned EWTN, both supporters and critics of EWTN agreed that it was directed at Mother Angelica's Catholic television network, applying the prohibition to "any Mass that is or will be televised for broadcast or videotaped for public dissemination." Bishop Foley stated that the practice of having the priest's back to the people "amounts to making a political statement and is dividing the people."[7] Some critics felt that pressure was put on Bishop Foley by anti-Mother Angelica critics, including Cardinal Mahony.[citation needed] The network complied with Bishop Foley's order despite the fact that the practice is permitted by liturgical law.[8] The Most Reverend David Edward Foley, D.D., was ordained a priest for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington on May 26, 1956. ...
