There’s nothing braver than attacking a dead nun who spent most of her life working with the poor and the destitute/sarc.

two of the reasons the rich critics attack Mother Teresa:
1. They don't realize that her primary mission was to spread the Word of Christ. Everything else was devoted to that aim. The poor were helped for the greater glory of God -- for them to feel the love of Christ. Spiritual "medicine" was primary, secondary was physical
2. They don't realize that just giving people medicine without love does not help them. I know a nun who works at "Mother Teresa's roses" -- they do something that may perplex us and this rich folks -- they offer the poor street dwellers a place to have a nice warm bath, with soap and everything and clean clothes. We may think "oh, what's the big deal" but to these beggars and street-dwellers it means a lot, it makes them feel human, not animals...
