"I can’t believe people are here trashing Mother Teresa. It’s appalling. She was everything a Christian ought to be."

Then you have no experience of the smug, Pharisaical, evangelical Christians who base their salvation on a subjective emotion of being "saved," and who therefore feel absolved from doing any of the works of mercy DEMANDED by Jesus. These so-called "Bible" Christians show no evidence of ever having read the Bible, except to justify their own arrogance and blasphemy.

“I can’t believe people are here trashing Mother Teresa. It’s appalling. She was everything a Christian ought to be.”

I’ve found it true that many people who tear the body of Christ and the workers in it do so because they are afraid what they believe is lacking.

It isn’t that they aren’t Christians. It is because they cannot abide the idea that there are people who are chosen to do great things in the Name of Jesus, have accomplished this mission, have given all, and they haven’t.

It is what we call envy of another’s spiritual good, and it is a sin. It is a grave sin. It is a sin against the Holy Spirit because the spiritual good is from the Holy Spirit. Mother Teresa questioned, she did not DESPAIR.

It is also a sin against Justice because of this and because motives and thoughts and words are ascribed to her that no one could possibly know other than calumny. Justice is of God, no one else. No one know the Mind the God.

I am a very small person. This is my role in the world. I was born to be what I am, doing what I do, but I do know that the mission I was given is small and even then, I refused until a few years ago until Mother Teresa’s and the prayers of many nuns helped me through cancer and changed my life.

Blessed Teresa is a saint.

Everything else is just the noise of envy and deceit.
