An extreme traditionalist website that's either schismatic or within a hairs-breadth of it.

How about a quote from the Houston Chronicle?

On whether she tried to convert Hindus:
"Of course I convert. I convert you to be a better Hindu or a better Muslim or a better Protestant. Once you've found God, it's up to you to decide how to worship him."

Her quote is a denial that she is proselytizing, a charge which could get thousands of her fellow sisters martyred. To use that quote as evidence that she has no desire that any of the people she helps would accept Christ is unfounded; all she is doing is ascribing free will to the people she helps and to God.

In India, millions of people accuse her of trying to use her charity to bribe people into accepting Christ. She insisted that she was not doing that, that she loves them because of who they are, not that she only loves them because she’s trying to proselytize them. She merely cares for them. Would she be delighted if every dying sole she touches makes a deathbed confession in Christ? Would she want her ministry to grow, so that every dying soul in India has the same opportunity to do so? If you doubt that, you know nothing at all of her.

She doesn’t have to proselytize. She loves. And everyone she touches knows who she regards as the source of that love. Those who she inspires to seek, will find.

Mary, Mother of Jesus: "Do whatever He says."

Jesus: "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

Doesn't really look like she was following either Mary or Jesus.

Ha ha ha. How many Hindus and Muslims do you think she converted? Thousands and more. How many have you converted? I’d wager nil.
