Literary critic and sinologist Simon Leys wrote that "the attacks which are being directed at Mother Teresa all boil down to one single crime: she endeavors to be a Christian, in the most literal sense of the word".
Ye gods that ghastly woman was no sort of saint! She would sooner see people suffer than allow them to have pain relief! I met someone years ago who had worked with her, they didn't think much of her!
Could she save the world? Jesus did say "leave the dead to bury the dead" and "the poor you will always have". Whatever work she did went beyond that and did better than any of us could or would do. It doesn't seem to me like anyone else picked up the work she did. Everyone has an axe to grind, and thinks they can do a better job, even those close to her. Let's give the woman a break.
I think everyone who works for "doctors without borders" would disagree, on several counts, and they aren't doing the relentless self-aggrandizing that Teresa-the-Selfish did.
So I say, let's remember her and certainly not hate her. I am amazed, some have such hate of her and these same people admire phony politicians who are totally selfish and corrupt and actually call such elitist government class demons who have been looting the people for decades as "caring about the poor" or whatever. These dupes of political con jobs and dupes of socialist fascism make me sick at times. But I say hurray for Mother Teresa and I am a Hindu. Sure, there were some mistakes made, but she truly is a Saint cumpared to the heroes of some of those who attack her.
What's the problem? Sinology is the academic study of China.I found the following link to be interesting:

Just because you can't save everyone doesn't mean you have to reuse needles in the hospital you run or refuse to administer proper pain medication... especially when you had the money to do all this and more.Could she save the world?

Sainthood isn't about being a good person; it's about adherence to doctrine.I'm not a fan of her, myself. What a screwed up woman. The threshold for Sainthood appears quite low these days.

Agree to disagree.Sainthood isn't about being a good person; it's about adherence to doctrine.
