Contrast this with the story I once read of Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity when they opened their first facility in the U.S. It was in the South Bronx in New York City, in a building that was donated by a wealthy benefactor in the Archdiocese of New York.

When they moved into the building, the first thing they did was have all of the beds and mattresses removed, and donated to a homeless shelter. The nun who was in charge was actually kind of upset over the whole thing. She said something to this effect: "When we made the decision to move here we were very clear that we didn't want any beds. We sleep on mats on the floor."

The archbishop needs a comfortable home from which to entice illegal aliens to Atlanta…wouldn’t want to send a mission to Mexico to do the same thing!

Mother Teresa also had the carpet removed.
