No.

From someone who claims to have worked closely with her.

An eye witness you could say.,p>One could also a liar.

And the latter is more accurate.

What is the charge here? I don't get it. She professed poverty, she lived poverty. She professed monastic obedience, and she lived it. Her particular vocation and order is not for everyone, or the Church would require it of everyone.

It is about a particular vocation, and if you pretend you have a vocation when you don't, if you try to bamboozle God, you don't have a beef if it doesn't work out your way.

The real clue that this article is a venomous hit-piece is the line about suffering giving one leverage over God. If Mother Teresa really thought that (which clearly she didn't) she was a heretic. Nothing gives anyone "leverage" over the Almighty. But folks who bring misunderstanding to the table often walk away with what they brought. Um, that which goeth around cometh around, as the prophets have said ....

I was one of her sisters for nine and a half years, living in the Bronx, Rome, and San Franciso...

I don't believe Mother Teresa spent too much time in any of these locales. This slanderer former sister must be mistaken.

baloney. close in physical proximity, perhaps. in another world spiritually and intellectually. and, an "eye witness?" that's exactly her token here. you're buying it?

somewhere there's a scripture about the devil being the "accuser of the bretheren."
