What is your definition of a mystic? How do you know she was NOT a mystic?

**In the latter sense, we can say that the mystics, in the night of the spirit, are “a-theist,” that Jesus himself on the cross was an “a-theist”, without-God.**

Interesting observation.

Generally, and traditionally, mystics are people involved with mysticism, which has (aagain, traditionally) overtones of the occult.

Anyhow, that's my impression and feeling when I hear the term mystic, as opposed to a "saint" who is definitely aligned with God in Heaven.

As to what I know regarding Mother Tereasa, I do not know for a surety, and never said I did...I simply said my faith and common sense tells me different.
