In other words, she was folded into that great number of nuns who were the backbone of the Catholic educational system through at least the 1950s.
That was her.įor those not familiar, she was the product of a family damaged by divorce, mental instability and poverty in depression-era Canton, Ohio, and who became a Poor Clare nun in 1945 at the age of 22. Or perhaps you were one of those people flipping through the channels on Cable TV and came across the fat old nun in her stiff black and white religious habit who looked almost like a caricature of the nuns that so many told stories about from their grade school years.
Some Catholics were, of course quite familiar with her.
Mother Angelica died five years ago this past week – Ma– at the age of 92.
