Mother Teresa - A Bad Catholic?
 

http://www.traditioninaction.org/Hot...therTeresa.htm

Excerpts:

.. First, she assumed the false supposition that God is the same for
Muslims, pagans and Catholics.

. Second, she simplified the notion of love, and implied that one can
love both the good and the evil, that the object of one's love is an
indifferent subject. All that matters is love. This contradicts the teaching
of basic Catholic Catechism that instructs us to love the true God above all
things.

Oh my!

But there's mo

Now, in the case of Mother Teresa, John Paul II waived the five-year waiting
period. Then, in 2002 the Vatican recognized one miracle, the cure of Monica
Besra, a 35-year-old villager from northern India cured of an ovarian tumor.
Besra and the Missionaries of Charity claim that the tumor vanished in
September 1998 when a medallion with an image of the late Albanian nun was
applied to the site of her pain.

However, Dr. Ranjan Mustafi, chief gynecologist who treated the woman at
Balurghat District Hospital in West Bengal, says that it was quite possible
that his patient was cured by four anti-TB drugs she was taking at the time,
which could have dissolved the tumor. He said he admires Mother Teresa
greatly and thinks she should be beatified for her work among the poor. But
not for this case. "She [Besra] had a medical disease which was cured by
medical science, not by any miracle," he says.(4)

His hospital superiors back him up, saying that records show she responded
to the treatment steadily. Five doctors in Rome consulted by the Vatican on
the case disregarded this scientific probability and hastily agreed there
was no medical explanation for the cure. Mustafi said he was never contacted
by the Vatican. (5)

Hype, hype, hype!!!!!

Throw in some zealotry!

Stir a bit and you have----

A saint!!!!

Oh oh!

Hey Maxprop it's getting worse:

One of Mother Teresa's volunteers in Calcutta described her "Home for the
Dying" as resembling photos of concentration camps such as Belsen. No
chairs, just stretcher beds. Virtually no medical care or painkillers beyond
aspirin, and a refusal to take a 15-year-old boy to a hospital. Hitchens
adds, "Bear in mind that Mother Teresa's global income is more than enough
to outfit several first class clinics in Bengal. The decision not to do
so... is a deliberate one. The point is not the honest relief of suffering,
but the promulgation of a cult based on death and suffering and subjection."

Then Hitchens notes that Mother Teresa "has checked into some of the finest
and costliest clinics and hospitals in the West during her bouts with heart
trouble and old age."

I read the Hitchens story in Vanity Fair, MT was a real piece of work, but
Catholics need their icons, no?

Yeah, like she had the funds to turn the place into the Mayo Clinic.

Highly unlikely. Her detractor is no doubt referring to her family's
wealth, not funds to which MT had access. This critic sounds a lot like
you.

The decision not to do so... is a deliberate one. The point is not the
honest relief of suffering, but the promulgation of a cult based on death
and suffering and subjection."

Sounds like really sour grapes to moi. You seem willing to pillory Mother
Teresa, but you make no comment about her detractor. Suspicious.


Then Hitchens notes that Mother Teresa "has checked into some of the

More sour grapes, and unsubstantiated hearsay. Sorry, but I'm not changing
my mind about her based on the venom of a disgruntled co-workers. Just
about anyone can sound horrendous if described by a detractor taking
information out of context. Likewise, Jeffrey Dahmer could have been
Citizen of the Year if properly portrayed.

If you read any of Hitchens' work you'ld realize he definitely wasn't your
typical "leftist", he was/is a supporter of the war in Iraq.

Yeah, like she had the funds to turn the place into the Mayo Clinic.

So no donations sent to her organization?

You can look up her Charity if you like.

Sounds just like MT's own words.

She was a cash cow for the Catholic Church. Last year alone they spent over
470 million dollars in legal fees defending child molesters.

How many millions did Mother Teresa receive from the Church?

How many millions were raised in her name?

Glory!

Regarding the left wing, I wasn't referring to Hitchens.
