Reflections on Mother Teresa
|
 
Hmm.. turns out I was right about faithful Catholics loving Teresa more than normal.
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.!

That gargoyle Teresa certainly wasn't. 
Best PR stunt ever.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

To (mis)quote Hitch, Mother Theresa was not a friend of the poor or those who suffered. She was a friend of poverty and suffering.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
