How many of the people reading this post believes that Mother Teresa did good work? Even after learning that she opposed any form of limiting the increase of the world's population. And she stated many times, "AIDS is a just retribution for improper sexual misconduct." Her reply to problems facing Calcutta: "It is too distant from Jesus." And on poverty, "I think it is very beautiful for the poor to accept their lot, to share it with the passion of Christ. The world is much helped by the suffering of the poor people."
To examine the medical practices subscribed to in Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity, I reviewed The Lancet, a respected British medical journal. A physician who visited the facility wrote that he was disturbed by misdiagnoses and administration of inappropriate medications. Particularly appalling was the absence of strong analgesics for the control of pain, repeatedly using the same injection needles without the benefit of sterilization, and the blatant refusal to send to the hospital those patients in dire need of surgery.
I am glad I was never a patient at the Missionaries of Charities!"

Yes, I have read a few things about the 'Momie'--- and apparently she wanted as much misery as she could cause. There was no scientific ways to increase food production, no limiting of child birth, no sustainable housing, education. She was dedicated to her evil.

From the little I know, I believe her intentions were good. If the people she ministered to were happy to have her assistance, then maybe we shouldn't judge her in light of 21 century mores
