Mother Teresa?

Question

When someone is doing something angelic, they say " Look at Mother Teresa over here" I have heard stories that mother teresa was not a good gal. Anybody
have any info on her evil side.

Answer 1

Read The Missionary Position; it is a book by Christopher Hitchins (not sure if I spelled that right), exposing the wrongdoings of Mother Theresa.
I have not read the book personally, but I know it involves all sorts of pandering to less than savory entities, anti semitism, condemnation of AIDS victims ("Aids is a fitting punishment for homosexuals").
Often when someone does good, their motives are called into question.
However, some of Mother Theresa's actions seriously call into question her motives.
I know that this is not a popular opinion to have, especially when so many people are quick to pass propaganda off as fact, even when they don't have all the details.
I am not the person to ask about Mother Theresa, and her right doings or wrongdoings in that I don't have all the facts. Read the book, do a little research and draw your own well-thought out-conclusion.

Answer 2

Critics of Mother Teresa, namely Christopher Hitchens, Aroup Chatterjee, and Robin Fox, have argued that her organization provided substandard care, and were primarily interested in converting the dying to Catholicism. At the same time, Teresa received large sums in donations, the amount or destination of which has not been revealed. These donations are alleged to have been transferred to Catholic missionary programs elsewhere, rather than being spent on improving the standard of healthcare. Furthermore, Teresa's relationships with some donors and political figures has been a source of controversy.

Answer 3

I don't think Mother Teresa has an evil side.

Answer 4

I haven't heard those stories, but I saw someone else refer to them. Perhaps it's people trying to discredit her and her work and the Church or Christians by doing so. Or perhaps she was not so good in her youth and turned herself around. Everything I've has been good, but maybe this is why the Church hasn't made her a saint yet. It's not like they'd come out and say why.

Thanks to jd for the info. I didn't realize this stuff.
