I have actually seen this Mother Angelica. It appears to me that she puts most of her time and effort into selling overpriced, tacky little trinkets to the viewers, based on the implication that the "true" Christians will want this junk, and should serve God by buying it, rather than serving Mammon by hanging onto their money. In other words, she preys on the insecurities and good intentions of the gullible, in a cynical attempt to take their money. And she is none too subtle about it. I have an aunt (an old woman herself) who is susceptible to this sort of thing, and it's heartbreaking to see her house filled with all this crap while her savings dwindle. In my view Mother Angelica looks like a sweet old lady, but what she is doing is evil, pure and simple.
