I like watching Sister Angelica on TV. She is very sweet and humble, and I think she makes an effort to keep away from Catholic doctrine to focus more on the love of Christ. Sometimes when I'm at home doing something, I'll turn her on and keep it in the background, and it seems to bring a lot of peace into the room.
I have to admit, 90% of the stuff on TBN is lousy. It's bad when a Protestant watches Catholic television just to hear about Christ.

For the most important role model, I would choose Thomas Aquinas, who successfully reconciled the secular Greek ethics with Catholic theology and church teaching. Before his contribution, secular ethics taught by the Greeks were considered apostasy or heresy outside the church and "not from God." Today, in the same way Aquinas' work proves that God's wisdom and truth can manifest equally in secular systems, even by gentiles considered unchurched or "non-christian" as universal truths that are consistent with Christian principles, so can the same be reconciled with Buddhism and other teachings based on natural laws and ethics that are equally part of God's laws and are harmonious if not necessary complements with Christian church teachings. Aquinas work should be used as a platform or precedent for spiritual reconciliation that fulfills the teaching of Christ as rejoining God and man, or God's divine laws with natural laws of man. Bridging the gap between religious and secular institutions will influence the change in heart mind and spirit needed to accomplish world peace, or the Kingdom of God on earth, so I believe Aquinas to be a critical model for establishing and justifying such an agreement -- between all institutions and individual members they comprise.

Father James Swenson from St. Bridgets church in lv,nevada.
our church has the only 24 hour chaple of adoration where you can pray before the host. 17 yrs ago the bishop sent him to shut down the church due to lack if members. he has been shot 3 times rolling with the cops to point out drug dealers in the neighborhood. at the end of this month is the groung breaking for our new church, bigger and better

Hi, for me it has to be Fr. John Corapi, he is a stalwart of the church and preaches the unadulterated truth,while being a prayer warrior,and tells it like it is to Bishop and Layperson alike.

Mother Teresa because she lived as a representative of Christ and not as a representative of Rome.
