Mother harshly criticized a mimed re-enactment of the Stations of the Cross at the World Youth Day in Denver, Colorado, which was attended by Pope John Paul II. Mother was particularly upset that a woman was playing Jesus. Archbishop Rembert Weakland of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee called Mother's comments "...one of the most disgraceful, un-Christian, offensive, and divisive diatribes I have ever heard". Mother responded by saying, "He didn't think a woman playing Jesus was offensive? He can go put his head in the back toilet as far as I am concerned!"

Archbishop Mahoney Eucharist Pastoral - Mother condemned as heresy -eventually gave a tepid apology.

Her diocesan bishop, Foley, ruled out ad orientem masses - Mother reacted because it forced the monastery to do a free standing altar - Foley dedicated and Mother refused to attend.

She was in many ways a dictator who allowed for no dissent.
