Mother Teresa touched the world with her compassion, her zeal, her love for life. I'm not sure there will be many to come after her that possess her lifelong love for all people. She will be sorely missed by all, especially those she helped and those her organization will help in the future. She cared for all those who include refugees, ex-prostitutes, the mentally ill, sick children, abandoned children, lepers, AIDS victims, the aged, and convalescent. She was known as the Saint of Gutters and day and night doing her best to the dying destitutes of Calcutta. She was the Angel of Mercy and worked for Calcutta till her last days.

I am privileged to have seen her on few occasions and enjoyed working with her about 2 decades ago In Calcutta-

She was a bad person that did bad things in the name of god.

It is a well documented fact that mother Teresa intentionally and willfully hospiced sick poor people that could have been cured by anti-biotics and other relatively inexpensive medications. She and her followers collected these ignorant people, laid them out and let them slowly die with no pain medications and minimum food and water while asking you all to donate money to her cause. They hoarded the money and her order bought up some of the most valuable real estate possible in major cities all over the world including Manhattan and London.

It is also a well documented fact that they warehoused poor orphans in conditions that would have made Nazi prison camps look like luxury. Children were left uncared for and were tied to the corners of their beds like dogs on a leash.

Susan Shields, a former nun, recalled that one year there was roughly $50m held by the New York office alone. Much of the money, she complained, sat in banks while workers in the homes were obliged to reuse blunt needles. The order has stopped reusing needles, but the poor care remains pervasive. A case earlier this year where staff knew a patient had typhoid but made no effort to protect volunteers or other patients.

Mother Teresa was a monster and any human of moral character should oppose her appointment as a saint.

I have seen the slums of Kalkutta and the poverty there.The government and other social organisations are so negligent.Think of a young foreign girl coming there and living with them and taking care of the needy.It is not that all christians do that.Only she did it and even she did not expect any recognition.
She got doubts about God may be because it is inhuman even for God to create such misery to so many people all over the world.Whose job is it any way?
Doubting that she has swindled money is bad taste.Even for millions I dare not do the good pioneering work she did.

I think that she was a hypocrite. She campaigned in Ireland in 1996 against women getting the right to divorce there. Also in 1996, she said in an interview that she hoped her friend Princess Diana would be happier after she had her divorce. Another example of the continuation of the selling of indulgences to the rich. Overall she was a good person though. I only point out her faults because evryone else elevates her to godliness.

If she were a Spirit of Truth-led person, she would have rejected her unspiritual "Mother" title and demand to be called Sister Teresa. And the "Popes" and "Priests" are not "Fathers" in the spiritual sense; they too are just Brothers !

In Jesus Christ we are all equal Brothers and Sisters in the Family of God ! "Priesthood of all believers."

This human made spiritual hierarchy is a spiritual abomination ! and the "galaxy of saints" is more of the same.

I have no statements about Sister Teresa; I never met her.

I think that Mother Teresa was amazingly, awesomely smart. Some of the things that she said blow my mind. I mean, she was so loving and caring and everything that I've read, or heard her say makes total and complete sense to me.

And she didn't doubt her belief in God. She doubted if what she was doing was God's will for her, which everyone does. It's natural.

1 John 2
1 My little children, these things write I unto you that ye may not sin. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

2 and he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

I think there are still millions of dollars that were donated to her charity that have gone missing and never went to what they were intended for. I think that her organization's refusal to hand over financial records speaks volumes about it. I think she was no better a person than anyone else who helps the poor and unfortunate. She was human - and her personal letters showing her own doubts about an all loving God prove this.

The simple acts of kindness that she has done out of love for poor people (as she saw Christ in them) will make her a saint one day .

When i think of her i feel that we are largely in need of people like her than the growing number of terrorist outfits .
