This is a very unfair attack on Mother Teresa.

With all due respect, I cannot understand how this can be considered an "unfair attack". The person who was responsible for her canonization is the same one who is publishing the papers:

Doesn't it seem more reasonable that she suffered these emotions?

She hasn't been canonized. She has been beatified which is the second of three steps, canonization being the third.

Doesn't it seem more reasonable that she suffered these emotions?

In light of what I posted about the mystical process, yes. That was my point. However the media and some on this thread are taking it in a different direction; that trials of Faith make someone not Christian or specifically not Catholic.

The nun's crisis of faith was revealed four years ago by the Rev. Brian Kolodiejchuk, the postutalor or advocate of her cause for sainthood, at the time of her beatification in October 2003. Now he has compiled a new edition of her letters, entitled, "Mother Teresa: Come be My Light," which reveals the full extent of her long "dark night of the soul."

That's fascinating. Half of her life, the second half, is a long time to doubt whether God exists or not.
