I was just looking up Mother Angelica and I found that another piece of nonsense by Robertson was decisive in her own career. When she became well-known in Alabama for her talks about the Catholic faith, Robertson's TV network offered her a regular spot. "Her television career began later in the decade when she taped a series of videos at a Birmingham station for televangelist Pat Robertson’s Christian Broadcasting Network. When she learned in 1981 that the station intended to air a movie denying Christ’s resurrection, she took her show elsewhere—to her monastery’s garage." That was the beginning of EWTN, and, incidentally, I cannot imagine how that movie did not start a devil of a row among Robertson's own following. I mean, give Baptists their due, one would not imagine that they of all people would take kindly to denials of the Resurrection.
