Should spent all her time in front of the cameras, playing a part, so that organizations, governments, and rich people would send her money.
Her particular brand of "helping" was to let people get closer to God, through suffering. She didn't give people medicine. She didn't give them care. She gave them a mat on the floor to lay on while they suffered and died...and she flew around the world, living like a queen.
You have to look into her. Her public image was a sham. I believed the image of her for a long time then someone said something different and I started reading criticisms of her. She was not a good person. This guy was right on about her.
I have heard it before but without any explanation why. Just never really looked into it.
People are constantly attacking Christians and Catholics for no reason, so I tend to ignore unless they provide solid reasons. (which someone has now provided here)
Solid reasons from Penn & Teller... who are people constantly attacking Christians. Hitchens (author of God Is Not Great), Penn, Teller, all hate Christians. You were right to be skeptical.
You linked me to a penn and teller video? These guys aren’t exactly a reliable source. They hate religion and find “experts” looking to discredit it. They are full of the same stuff John Oliver is full of. Hitchens, who wrote God Is Not Great, is not an expert.
I hate to say this but Mother Teresa was a POS.
Edit: a good basic primer on the matter is Penn and Teller’s “Bullshit” series: https://youtu.be/b6XRsJI6YxI
Why?
Mother Theresa was a textbook grifter.

Oh boy—you’re about to go down the rabbit hole, lol.
Seriously how can you not know this already.

He’s in the episode but yes.
It's just a colloquialism.

Haha, rad. I wasn’t quite interested enough to keep digging passed penn and teller, so thanks for the heads up.
No probs! Totally understandable.
As you can imagine, this is a very sore spot for us. All of her crimes and corruption got hidden from us for decades!
Bullshit was a pretty famous show of theirs. I’d tread lightly. They defended the second amendment vehemently on Bullshit.
