I think it would have been better for Haiti if she had taken the same stand as the Pope rather than accept an award and donation from them.

The Duvaliers were kleptocrats.

However, I don't think this should prevent her from being on a stamp.

Mother Teresa walked the walk, unlike your typical liberal, narcissistic celebrity. Her passion was to care for the poor, sick, and the destitute. A public acknowledgment for the sake of appearances by the Duvalier was irrelevant for Mother Teresa. In other words, she would have continued her mission regardless of any recognition.

Your asinine attempt to paint a darker picture of Mother Teresa and her motives deserves harsh criticism.

I am not a Catholic, but whether you’re a Catholic, Protestant, or Maoist, giving up the luxuries of life PURELY for the sake of serving those living in abject poverty deserves respect.

The Duvalier’s were far worse than kleptocrats.
