Who Hates Mother Teresa?

The anti-religion crusaders are at it again.

This time they want the Post Office to cancel a planned new stamp honoring Mother Teresa.

I am continually shocked by the persistence of these activist groups. They seem to never give up! Any mention or reference of God must be wiped out. The Pledge of Allegiance, In God We Trust, you name it… they want it boarded up, whitewashed, and banished from our public life.

But not this time. Not Mother Teresa.

Sign on to our group letter to the Postmaster General here – Stamp Out Bigotry

A group called the Freedom from Religion Foundation is now spreading lies about Blessed Mother Teresa accusing this holy nun of having a ‘darker side,’ and calling her a ‘polarizing Roman Catholic figurehead.’

That’s why we decided to act swiftly and make sure this anti-Mother Teresa campaign doesn’t gain any more momentum.

The groups now protesting the new stamp never protested other stamps honoring Gandhi, or even Martin Luther King, Jr. who proudly understood his fight for civil rights to be rooted in his Christian faith.

What is plain is that these groups not only dislike Mother Teresa, they despise the Catholic Church. They simply cannot stomach the thought of the United States Postal Service honoring a Catholic nun who spoke out against abortion, contraception, and against the atheistic materialism of the west.

In her famous 1994 speech at the National Prayer Breakfast, Mother Teresa closed with these words:

“From here, a sign of care for the weakest of the weak - the unborn child - must go out to the world. If you become a burning light of justice and peace in the world, then really you will be true to what the founders of this country stood for. God bless you!”

Please sign our letter to Postmaster General Jack Potter at Link

Please send this to your friends and family too. We need to push back against this ugly campaign, and stand up for this holy nun and all that she lived for.

Mother Teresa stood up for the best of America’s ideals. Now it’s time we stand up for her.

Sincerely,

Brian Burch

P.S. The Post Office announced that the new Mother Teresa stamp will be released August 26th. I plan to buy hundreds of them for all our business mail at CatholicVote! Tell the Postmaster you support the new stamp by signing our petition at www.StampOutBigotry.com

Links aren’t working. I Like the idea.

Request of the moderator to spell her name correctly. It is Teresa, not Theresa ... :)

[Northern Yankee]

I like the idea of having Mother Teresa honored. (Just wanted to clarify! ; ) )

Good Morning!

Up early?

I am always stunned when groups want to dig on Mother Teresa.

I am guessing they have posters of Che Guavera (sp?) on their walls.

It is interesting that the opponents of this stamp tacitly agree that a woman universally known for being of great help to the less fortunate and possessing great generosity is necessarily a religious symbol; as if such traits could only stem from a faith.

satan never gives up, we will be fighting this kind of attack against us and worse until Jesus comes back to set up His kingdom.

Thanks mlizzy for the correct link. Here it is again:

And I have notified the moderator about changing the spelling. Note to myself: Always cut and paste. It is safer than allowing your fingers to race away and spell a name wrong by force of habit.

Yep! Off to walk the dogs, clear some snow (actually plentiful amounts, but we didn't feel the earthquake in Sycamore, a hour away; that's good) off our car, and get to mass. Well, Mother Teresa did tell it like it is in regard to life, and now that she's dead, they feel they don't have to politically correctly applaud her like they did at the '84 breakfast. Mother Teresa rocks! Heaven will win over hell. And life will win over death. Here's our new site, by the way ...

Save Babies
and we straightened up the rosary one and got it a new name ...
Rosary for Peace

Please ping your lists, if you think this is worthy. Thank you. And remember to tell them to scroll down for thel correct link to the petition. Obviously, I need to go back to bed!

Imho, the idea of a Mother Teresa stamp is lovely.

[mlizzy]

I meant '94 breakfast. Here's the link: Speech of Mother Teresa of Calcutta to the National Prayer Breakfast, Washington, DC, February 3, 1994

Even though sleepy, you’re doing God’s work. He is rejoicing! And Mother Teresa is smiling too. I got the year wrong on her speech and I got my full 8 in last night.:)

[afraidfortherepublic]

Thank you. Now sign the petition and forward it to 5 friends when you get back from your doggie walk! (if you haven’t already)

Check, check, and check! :)

(I even remembered to pray for Obama at mass.)

(I even remembered to pray for Obama at mass.)

You are a Saint. Sunday they asked us to pray for "Bi-partisanship" during prayers of the faithful. That stopped me in my tracks. When one party is so wrong (such as on abortion) why would we want to pray to be "bi-partisan" with them? How about praying for the right thing? How about praying for their total defeat so that babies may live? Life is a struggle sometimes.
