Of course, the cameras show Bill and Hillary Clinton, as well as the Gores, sitting and almost frowning at the end of this 'rousing speech about the family'
Topher, my husband and I watched this speech "live," and as we recall the Clintons did applaud Mother Teresa, but it was PC [politically correct] clapping that they were doing.
If you happen to find a tape that goes against this, please let me know. I can only find one where the tape is cut off after MT speaks and those at the tables around her on the stage are all applauding.
Regardless, this brilliant message of Mother Teresa's was perfect, on spot, and directed toward the Clinton administration.
No one spoke pro-life [and against abortion] like Mother Teresa did. There were and still are men running for POTUS who carry her heart for the unborn, but they were/are still at the bottom of the polls. What does that say about our nation?
One of the saints who could smells souls was St. John Vianney. Told a woman he could smell her [wretched] soul even as he was descending the steps to greet her for confession. Can you imagine?
Very interesting to read about the Clintons wishing to adopt from the MT Foundation, and they not allowing it. Never heard that story before. Thank you!

P.S. As of September we will have a relic from Mother Teresa. She typed my husband a letter [complete with white out covering a typo or two]. She sent a miraculous medal as well; I gave it to a priest battling cancer, and after he died, there was no way I was going to get "that" back. =)
She is
Blessed Mother Teresa now so, it is a relic now... At least, I believe that 'Blessed' have relics just as 'Saints' do.
Finally, the movie recently released ("The Letters") had a negative review from the Mother Teresa Center (based in San Diego, California).
+God bless.
One thing I found that was interesting was that Mother Teresa and Hillary Clinton worked to open a house in the Washington, DC area.
However, after Mother Teresa died, it closed. Apparently, it was just something for Hillary Clinton to put on her resume. Mother Teresa did a lot work contacting people to get the house opened. I believe it was babies/children to be adopted.
As powerful as the Clintons are, they could have worked to keep it open and feep it funded. They did not. LifeNews.Com had an article on it.
