Allen, Jr. (EWTN's bishop says priests must face the people-Eternal Word Television Network )-Brief Article, National Catholic Reporter November 19, 1999.〕 Though the decree never specifically mentioned the Catholic television network, EWTN, both supporters and critics of EWTN agreed that it was directed at Mother Angelica's network. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Edward Foley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
