Defamation of saintly Catholic figures has turned into a veritable cottage industry:

Pope Pius XII - Nazi collaborator

Pope Benedict XVI - President of the Adolf Hitler Youth Fan Club.

John Paul the Great - Committed suicide by euthanasia

Mother Theresa - A cruel and heartless thief who had no actual faith in God.

Lucia of Fatima - Secretly replaced with Folger’s Crystals.

Saint Padre Pio - Fraud.

It’s mind-boggling how well the secularists have concentrated their firepower on the Church. They have a public stacked wall-to-wall with nimrods who take this crap at face value because, well, Diane Sawyer said so. In a perverse way, though, it’s very comforting. Jesus promised this, and countless saintly prophets have predicted this persecution from centuries ago.

I believe one of the accusations against Mother Teresa, by Hitchens or someone I think, was that she was salting it away. Money, that is. He said she was loaded. Also that she was driven by a lust for fame.

This stuff rears its head from time to time when ol' Nick cranks up the filth blowing machine and nobody is immune.

We've had the Jesus was married, Jesus was gay, Mary was not a virgin, schools of thought, so the saints are certainly not going to be exempt from the "treatment".
