Mother Teresa was no saint,she was an old greedy toad!
June 2, 2014 at 5:11 pm
Quote:-Canadian academics trawled through 96 per cent of all originally researched literature on the Catholic icon and concluded that her reputation as one of the holiest women of the twentieth century was the product of hype.
-Researchers allege missing funds for humanitarian work and homes for the poor that did not offer the medical care they required, leaving many to die.
-Serge Larivée, a researcher from the University of Montreal, said: "Given the parsimonious management of Mother Theresa's works, one may ask where the millions of dollars for the poorest of the poor have gone?”
-"And she was a friend to the worst of the rich, taking misappropriated money from the atrocious Duvalier family in Haiti (whose rule she praised in return) and from Charles Keating of the Lincoln Savings and Loan. Where did that money, and all the other donations, go?"
Christopher Hitchens on MT
-"MT was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of poverty. She said that suffering was a gift from God. She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction
-He also told a story about Mother Teresa and her refusal to give people painkillers in her hospices. She told one individual who was screaming in agony that his pain was a "kiss from Jesus." he said, "Tell Jesus to stop kissing me, then."
Mother Teresa was no saint

Yeah, it's old news to us.
Unfortunately many of the religious still look at the old witch through rose-tinted god glasses and refuse to see what she was really like or, worse, justify her actions and the suffering of those in her "care".

I will never again be able to read or hear her name without hearing Hitchens in my head saying, "A thieving, fanatical Albanian dwarf".
