I'm tired of your witchcraft. I'm tired. I'm tired of being pushed in cornerI'm tired of your inclusive language that refuses to admit that the Son of God is a Man. I'm tired of your tricks.

I'm tired of your deceits. I'm tired of you constantly just making a crack and the first thing you know there's a hole and all of us fall into it. No. This was deliberate.

I am so tired of you liberal Church. And everything you've ever done has gone in silence. Nothing, nothing you've done from your withcraft to your enneagrams to your centering prayer to all this earth spirituality…No, this is not an accident. We've swallowed this now for thirty years.

I'm tired of it. We've swallowed enough of your idea of God and you really have no God. You spread your errors to children. And our children don't even know Jesus anymore. They don't understand the Body and Blood, and Divinity of Jesus. (Jesus Christ my words)

Your Catechisms are so watered down that they say nothing but 'love your neighbor'. No, you've got to love God first…I don't like your Church. You have nothing to offer. You do nothing but destroy. We're not going to go for all those crazy things that you're pushing out as new and cultural….You've made it pagan. You've helped to make this nation pagan because you have no spirituality that attracts…Your whole purpose is to destroy. You're not builders you're destroyers. I'm not going to take that anymore. I have to make a statement as you make a statement, but mine is not as subtle.

Mine is well thought out and I am not going to listen to what you have to say. My community and I proclaim to you and to this nation: we are Roman Catholic of a Latin Rite…we're not conservatives, we're merely catholic (with a little c ,UNIVERSAL my words). We have hidden under bushels too long. We have taken everything and we have been obedient. To what? To a destructive force. Don't call me rebellious. No. You're rebellious. Well, I've made my statement. I don't care whether you like it or not. It's time somebody said something about all these tiny little cracks that you have been putting for the past thirty years into the Church….Am I bitter? No, but I'm being realistic. How sad you are.

You've hidden your agenda with a mime. My agenda is not hidden. I tell you and the whole world.

I'm tired of your theologians who do nothing but divide and separate and destroy. It's time. It's time we say that.I don't like your kind of religion. I don't like your ways. I'm saying it. 'Oh, Angelica, you're getting rather violent?' No. We're just tired of you constantly pushing anti-God, anti-catholic and pagan ways into the catholic church.

In spite of what I've said, I love you and I feel sorry, very sorry, that it has to be like this, but it has to be. Words of Mother Angelica 1993
