The woman was an opportunist who used her clout to be a cash cow for the catholic church. All while denying basic medical needs to the very people that her charities were supposed to be "saving". They had the money to build first class faci...lities in Calcutta and yet in her vision to be destitute was to be closer to God. Not to mention her backwards vision that more people means more of God's love. India does not need more generations of destitute starving children nor does the rest of the world that has population issues. Yet people cling to her personality cult because of all that "she" has sacrificed. How ironic that a woman who made an icon of "less being better" was treated by the finest physicians for her ailments yet made those under her own charge sleep in a hovel while suffering of even curable diseases............   hide

If nothing else, this book provides a convincing argument for why Mother Teresa should not have been beatified and should not be canonized in the future.

Eye- and mind-opener. How propaganda made of a fanatically religious woman a Saint. The poors were just her means to try and impose an obscurantist and sexually repressive vision to them and to the World. Highly recommended.

An excellent book and a real eye opener on some very questionable positions.
