Would there be a sect of followers who condemn the hungry?
Why are there Christians who condemn sinners?

The poor are typically powerless and unable to correct what is lacking in their lives.
Sinners have free access to whatever they require through the church that Jesus left behind on the earth for their salvation.
Big difference.
Nobody should condemn sinners, and nobody but God even can.
The proper and Christian thing to do is ADMONISH them, which means to apply loving, fraternal correction as necessary, in an attempt to get them to change their evil ways.
It's the sinners who often mistake one for the other.

There doesn't need to be a religion based on Blessed Teresa of Calcutta's teachings. She spent her life being faithful to the Roman Catholic Church. Her teachings ARE the teachings of the Catholic Church. So no, there would not be such a sect.
Why are there Christians who condemn sinners? Because they think they are holier than thou. They see the splinter in their neighbor's eye but ignore the plank in their own. And we all know what Scripture says about that.

Mother Teresa thought that suffering brought salvation. She baptized babies without permission of their parents, gave false information about birth control, took funds intended for schools and hospitals and used it for nunneries and other unknown things, and created a "hospital" for the dying staffed by people untrained in medicine--it was just a death house for the poor.
I know I'll be unpopular for saying it, but Mother Teresa had one of the best propaganda schemes ever created.
