In 1999, Foley issued a decree prohibiting priests in his diocese, under most circumstances, from celebrating Mass in the ad orientem position. Though the decree never specifically mentioned the Catholic television network EWTN, which has its studios located in the diocese, observers agreed that it was directed at Mother Angelica's network.[1]
