Her hospices weren't sporting any hospital beds, ice chips, pain relievers or other medication. These people died on mats on the floor in agony. The only thing different was there were no dogs.

Don't claim things on FR without being able to back them up. Cite your references for your statements.

I guess the human compassion and care of the nuns, who take these poor souls off the street so they can die surrounded by love and charity rather than uncared for in a gutter counts for nothing then, eh?

I won't even get into the spiritual benefits they offered as that obviously means nothing to you--To a Catholic, it means everything. More than all the ice chips and pain-killers in the world.

I suppose you run a fully functional modern hospice for dying societal rejects in desperately poor countries, though, right? If not, it takes an inhuman amount of hubris to criticize those with a track-record like Mother Theresa's.
