I discussed her with my father the other day. He is a faithful, "true" Catholic, but not a fanatic. While he belives in most thing the Church teaches, he is fine with non-Christians, and even understands atheists/agnostics, though he believes they are sad and lonesome without religion.

I brought up Teresa with him and my understanding of her "loving to keep people poor." He was not happy with me. It was almost as if I questioned the virtue of his grandmother.

He said that maybe MT should have tried to help the poor more than she did but "saints aren't social workers etc. etc.!

Most of the time they aren't even "saints".

That gargoyle Teresa certainly wasn't.
