And a hit piece after the Mother Theresa is dead. How convienent. Unreal. I read the whole article and didn't see anything wrong with Mother Theresas actions or beliefs. Strange.

Agree. But it does raise an eyebrow. It'd be interesting to see if any others step up to address this "from within." Also, I had no idea that her "organization" was that large. I was always under the impression that she operated with a much smaller number of people out of a single location overseas.

Based on ever-evolving news, I also wouldn't be shocked if this were in fact true. Who knows, we may never find out.

What I do know is that while very generous charity wise, I only give to organizations where I know the money is going to "end causes." I won't give a dime to any organization without a high degree of visibility and tangible/visible results.

Samaritan's Purse and the Marine Christmas program are two such charities.

In her book, Life in the Spirit: Reflections, Meditations, and Prayers, "Mother" Teresa says on pp. 81-82:

"We never try to convert those who receive [aid from Missionaries of Charity] to Christianity but in our work we bear witness to the love of God's presence and if Catholics, Protestants, Buddhists, or agnostics become for this better men -- simply better -- we will be satisfied. It matters to the individual what church he belongs to. If that individual thinks and believes that this is the only way to God for her or him, this is the way God comes into their life -- his life. If he does not know any other way and if he has no doubt so that he does not need to search then this is his way to salvation."
