Why would people send money to a Vatican bank instead of to the Sisters of Charity? But assuming this is so, and assuming it was mismanaged by a few bad people, I would say two things. 1) Fallible humans do bad things sometimes, and they exist in every organization. 2) How do you make the leap that bringing in money to the Vatican is a prerequisite for Sainthood, even through this example?
People sent money - lots and lots of money - to the Sisters of Charity, believing that it would pay for things like food and medicine for the poor (it didn’t). Teresa was the one who shipped the funds to Rome, because she had a fetish for watching people suffer.
