Every week lately it seems like I run into somebody who uses this woman as a paragon of virtue. And every time that happens I throw up a little in my mouth.
Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu AKA Mother Teresa, was nothing more than a fraud, a hypocrite and a thief. She praised and then accepted money from both Charles Keating and Baby Doc Duvalier, money that had been stolen from the poor, the innocent. When provided with documentation showing the provenance of the money and asked to return it to it’s rightful holders, she ignored the questions and kept the money.
Her Houses for the Dying were and still are an insult to human decency and the idea of proper medical care. In those Houses you will find no doctors or nurses, merely nuns who will occasionally dispense aspirin to those racked with pain in their final moments. Patients are forced to share beds. No distinction is made between those who are curable and incurable, so infections and diseases that could have been treated are allowed to fester and spread.
This woman claimed that her orphanage in Calcutta fed “over a thousand people daily.” Yes, the orphanage had a soup kitchen, but it only fed around 70 people a day (there’s video evidence documenting this.) 50 around lunchtime, 20 for dinner, and all had to carry special food cards to recieve their meal. How does one obtain these special cards? The nuns won’t say. However, it is apparent that local Catholic families all had easy access to these cards, while they were much harder to come by for members of the Hindu lower class.
In 1996, she spent much time and effort to convince the people of Ireland that they should keep their 58-year ban on all divorce. The people of that state went against her and the Catholic Church to vote in the legalization of divorce. Shortly thereafter, MT was quoted in Ladies Home Journal concerning the divorce of her friend Princess Diana. She said, “It is a good thing that it is over. Nobody was happy anyhow.” Again, she showed that she would bend her morals to the rich and powerful.
