Please, let's not even go there. Sometimes, it is better to forego and leave some topics alone for our own good and I believe this is one of them.

Here's a summary...

Mother Teresa may be synonymous with selflessness, but according to a team of Canadian researchers, the Catholic nun was “anything but a saint,” the Times of India reports.

In a study to be published this month in Religieuses, a French-language journal of studies in religion and sciences, they suggest the nun’s approach to caring for the sick was to glorify human suffering instead of relieving it.

But according to Larivée and colleagues, the Vatican turned a blind eye to Mother Teresa’s “rather dubious way of caring for the sick, her questionable political contacts, her suspicious management of the enormous sums of money she received, and her overly dogmatic views regarding … abortion, contraception and divorce.”

Mother Teresa believed the sick must suffer like Christ on the cross, they suggest.

The study authors note that doctors visiting many of the 517 “homes for the dying” run by Mother Teresa observed unhygienic conditions and a shortage of actual care, food and painkillers. Lack of funds were no explanation, since Mother Teresa’s order of the Missionaries of Charity had raised hundreds of millions in aid money. When the nun herself was in need of medical treatment, “she received it in a modern American hospital,” they point out.

According to Larivée and colleagues, Mother Teresa’s image of altruism is a myth. Even so, he acknowledges the power of her extraordinary reputation.

“It is likely that she has inspired many humanitarian workers whose actions have truly relieved the suffering of the destitute and addressed the causes of poverty and isolation,” he said. “Nevertheless, the media coverage of Mother Teresa could have been a little more rigorous.”

Sayon ra kaayo pagmugna ug article oi. Tu-o pod dayon ning uban. It's just an article... unya na mo react kung kita mo sa evidence sa ilang gipangsulti. Like for example the bank accounts and the money... let them prove first nga nawala or gihikaw sa mga masakiton ug pobre ang kwarta.
Hastang kasayon ra jud pag-ingon nga "kept secret" ang mga accounts para lang jud pagdaot. Sayon ra pod kaayo pag-ingon nga wala gi-atiman ang mga masakiton pero sa article wala gisulti kung pila kabuok ang patients compared to the number of voluteers.

That article reeks of leftist propaganda, they just couldn't make one without injecting their own pro-abortion, materialist/socialist dogma leaking out. It's no surprise it quotes Christopher Hitchens - a well-known atheist, and Marxist, and labels religious views - a "right-wing" belief.
