Is it just me, or is this article incredibly biased? I mean, I can understand being vaguely positive toward a subject - obviously you have to be interested enough to write an article. But presenting alleged miracles as facts? Come on.
This article does indeed seem to have a lot of bias.
[edit] NPOV
I've made a lot of edits to try and clean up the biases. . .probably still needs more work. I've also shortened the article a bit and added more headings to make it more readable. Other suggestions? TMS63112 21:23, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
- I feel this page is far too pro-Mother Angelica and perhaps even comes offf as preachy. There is far too much religious detail and it comes off as preachy. I've tracked most of it, such as the unnecesary capitalization of the word WALKED as if to prove to Wikipedians that Mother Angelica truly is miraculous, to a shrine's website. It only seems to be made out of things coming from supportive sites. I fear that this most certainly is not appropriate, as Mother Angelica is still certainly a controversial figure as her Wikipedia used to say, and it is wrong for whoever originally did this to gloss over without even addressing it with words lifted from other websites. I've attempted to shorten it and also removed a lot of the extra adjective in front of words that give the article an overly-religious flair (such as Most blessed sacrament, Good News of Jesus, etc.) I still feel this article is too long and contains far too much detail.

- The entire "Miracles" section seems biased toward religious beliefs, rather than actual fact. --Jeames 01:28, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
This entire article suffers from NPOV problems. I am adding the {{NPOV}} tag. Mike Dillon 03:22, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
I agree that perhaps you could say "while some suggest it is a miracle others insist is it scientifically possible." And perhaps offer some sort of scientific explanation if you have one rather than just saying it isn't possible, when people have seen it. I am a little offended that anyone would argue that these were not miracles. Just because you don't believe in them doesn't mean they are not miracles. That's fine to present the opposing views. But do not talk about the miracles as if they are non-sense fairy tales.IamAng12 18:44, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pirate Nun
More information should be presented about her alter-ego, "The Pirate Nun." Most people who have seen her only because of her wearing an eye-patch.
- She had a stroke. This might not be a well-written article, but this is just mean. Like making fun of people in Category:Amputees as having "Pirate alter-egos" and then laughing at their misfortune--T. Anthony 15:04, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
