The Missionaries of Charity started their apostolate in Tirupathi in 1986. Tirupathi is a famous Hindu shrine in Chittoor District, Cuddapah Diocese. The sisters run Nirmala Sadan, a home for orphans and destitute people. The management of the Ruia Hospital invited them to visit patients and to take care of the dying, orphans and old people.
Patients with AIDS or infected by HIV admitted in the hospital have been entrusted to the care of the sisters. There are many signed agreements between the hospital authorities and the sisters regarding mutual support in taking care of the patients. Very often, the hospital authorities ask the sisters to take into their home babies born with special needs and destitute old patients who are abandoned at the hospital.

Those are some very impressive figures for percentages of charity work done by such a small religious following.

History has shown time after time,if you cause God's servants grief--then expect to receive a LOT of grief for yourself.

The headline is a lie in more ways than one. The hospital administrator (Abdul Salam) and staff doctors complained to police the nuns were asking for personal information and the nuns were arrested. This was the third request from the TTD that the nuns stop asking for personal information from their victims. The nuns did so in order to pray for the souls in their churches. (Caring for the sick appears to be an opening, in this case.)
The TTD had asked the State government to enact a law to prohibit propagation of any religion on June 24.
Who are the hostages and the harassed?
To: ARridgerunner
Sounds pretty bogus.
One doesn't need personal information to pray for souls. Not even the name...the intent is there.
I don't believe for a minute the Sisters were prying for personal information.

"This was the third request from the TTD that the nuns stop asking for personal information from their victims. The nuns did so in order to pray for the souls in their churches." I'm sorry, I don't understand you. You describe the patients the sisters were caring and praying for as their "vicims." In what way were they victims? The sisters did no harm, but did only good for the dear people, physically and spiritually.

I wonder if the "Mother Teresa was a power-blinded money-launderer" FReepers will show up to this thread ....

In what way were they victims?Does the phrase "wolves in sheep's clothing" ring a bell?
To: ARridgerunner
You should hear the crap Sisters of Charity spread here in India. The Mother herself only used to fly first class and on private lear jets...some vow of poverty.
