A popular Catholic YouTube channel run by a religious community known as the “Home of the Mother” was removed by YouTube on Nov. 3 for allegedly violating the platform’s policies on spam, deceptive practices, and scams.
The channel titled “HM Television (English)” was best known for its hugely popular documentary “All or Nothing.”
The film tells the story of Sister Clare Crockett, a young Irish nun who gave up an acting career to enter religious life and was killed in an earthquake while serving in Ecuador in 2016. The documentary had millions of views before being removed along with the rest of the channel’s hundreds of videos.
Sister Kristen Gardner, a member of the Servant Sisters of the Home of the Mother and author of a book about the life of Sister Clare Crockett, told CNA on Wednesday that the sisters were especially saddened by the documentary being removed. Despite the religious community appealing the decision, Gardner said that the channel “remains deleted.”
