Re: Pope beatifies fraud/swindler known as Mother Teresa
I volunteered at the home for the dying in Calcutta 1989. Only 3-4 weeks, and all I did was wash the dishes. At the time I was actually quite critical of Mother Teresa. In my youthful self righteousness I thought she should be more vocal about the causes of poverty. But I saw people dying. People who had been picked up from the streets. They were washed, fed. Seen. Did they kiss crucifixes? I don´t know. In the circumstances it wasn´t important. Many of them were in horrendous pain, and nobody had cared. Here someone cared. Could they have cared more? Maybe. But they cared enough.
Mother Teresa answered those who thought that she should be addressing the causes of poverty, that it was´t her job. Her job was to care for those who nobody wanted. I met her once shortly. The only vibes I picked up were of love. I read since that she could be a b****. Good for her, In the job she was doing she would need to be.
