Now that it has been widely publicized that Mother Teresa didn't believe in God or Heaven, will this Pope ever

Question

admit his doubts, or will it take them with him to the grave?

Answer 1

You can put your money on the side that says mother teresa doesn't get acknowledged.

I can't believe you asked this question so many times.

Answer 2

Every person of faith has occassional doubts.

Some say that people with the most faith sometimes have the most doubts.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta had many doubts. But Mother Teresa was not an Atheist. Atheists do not write honestly to their spiritual guides things like, "In my soul, I can't tell you how dark it is, how painful, how terrible -- I feel like refusing God."

And this is not new. Here is a story from 2001: http://archives.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/asiapcf/south/09/06/teresa.letters/

Mother Teresa was not perfect and did not have it easy. She was a real human being with real thoughts and feelings. Just like the rest of us, sometimes she felt close to God and, at times, felt abandoned by God.

She wrote in one of her letters, "I am told God lives in me -- and yet the reality of darkness and coldness and emptiness is so great that nothing touches my soul."

Her letters show a real human struggle with her own spirituality and shows her humanity.

Even Jesus cried out on the cross, "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?"

Sometimes it seems to be the people with the greatest souls have the greatest doubts.

Struggle through and do not give up. God is with you even if you don't feel His presence at every moment.

With love in Christ.

Answer 3

Mother Teresa had doubts and wrote honestly about them. There is no reason to "decanonize" her or to change her status. She was a very honest woman and actually requested that her letters NOT be made public after her death. Her wishes should have been granted.

Answer 4

That's a big misinterpretation.
