The homeless said they always felt love and caring from them and felt the Catholics treated them with respect as if they were part of their family. Thus, once the respect was earned they wanted to hear more about Christ.

If I remember correctly, Jesus said to admonish people twice...After that, kick the dust from your feet and move on...

We plant and water and God finishes up with the increase...It's a spiritual thing...

And the trouble with your lovey-dovey thing is that the homeless didn't so much hear about 'Jesus' Christ...They heard about your church...And they got their earful of Mary and numerous Saints...

Those respondent people got their ears itched...

Her mission was to bring love(what Christ is) to the suffering who have been cast away by others and left to die.

And they still died, and went to Hell...Without hope, without God...

These people got to have a few moments of 'love' just before they go to spend an eternity in fire and brimstone, wailing and gnashing of teeth...

Could be God was hoping that your mother would spread a little truth, such as, "I am the way, the truth...No man comes unto the Father but by me", along with the love she was sharing...

"And they still died, and went to Hell...Without hope, without God..."

You don't know that to be true. Your brand of Christianity is full of hell, damnation, fire and brimstone. Salvation is to be pursued severely as a means to avoid punishment. Catholicism is full of love and Beatitude as Christ instructed.

Those ministered to by Mother Teresa did not have to profess their faith to you, me, or even her. They only need confess that they felt and returned the love when they stand before their maker.

Although in ways known to himself God can lead those who, through no fault of their own, are ignorant of the Gospel, to that faith without which it is impossible to please him. Every man who is ignorant of the Gospel of Christ and of his Church, but seeks the truth and does the will of God in accordance with his understanding of it, can be saved. The Church teaches:

It may be supposed that such persons would have desired Baptism explicitly if they had known its necessity.

Unintentional ignorance can diminish or even remove the imputability of a grave offense. But no one is deemed to be ignorant of the principles of the moral law, which are written in the conscience of every man.

The promptings of feelings and passions can also diminish the voluntary and free character of the offense, as can external pressures or pathological disorders.

Perhaps you need to read and digest Matthew 25;35-40

For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in:
Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me. Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, and fed thee; thirsty, and gave thee drink? And when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and covered thee? Or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee? And the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.

No ,these people more and likely went to heaven and people who condemn the poor are actually living a life of hell here on earth tortured by someone like Mothers Teresa’s love for others because they have a dark soul that hates Love,so they attack mother Teresa who was actually being Christlike.

Read the Beatitudes...

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [4] Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land. [5] Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

[6] Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill. [7] Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. [8] Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God. [9] Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God. [10] Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

[11] Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake: [12] Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you. [13] You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing any more but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men. [14] You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid. [15] Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the house.

[16] So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

In condemning Mary to hell you just highlighted one of the downfalls of protestantism ;Each one their own God. Diversity of opinion is endless and so the fracturing process is the protestant's perpetual curse.

Consigning people to hell is the domain of God with the protestants acting as consultants is the implication of your aforementioned post . Where is this in the bible? Oh wait, you can provide a verse out of context and provide a private interpretation to validate you contention.

You should indicate all you think are saved and those who who damned. Remember the door is narrow. A self examination of conscience apparently doesn't work so why not try public confession.

God bless.
