"Initial complaints about the stamp were raised by the Wisconsin-based Freedom from Religion Foundation."

I'm agnostic myself, but these people....they just get on my nerves.

They won't be happy until all the beauty of the world is erased.

Part of me wishes that the Missionaries of Charity would respectfully ask that the stamp be withheld.

I don’t think that it is appropriate for a Beata to be associated in any way (including through a postage stamp) with this radically pro-death government.

I like this stamp; Remember this ... "Speech of Mother Teresa of Calcutta to the National Prayer Breakfast, Washington, DC, February 3, 1994." One of the best pieces of history ever. Her image invokes the desire for purity and Love for the poor. Link. Her sisters continue to walk among us, even through peoples who are sinful and downtrodden.
