Actually, saints do not perform miracles, God does.
The miracle is a sign from God affirming the sanctity of the person whose name is invoked.
Thank you.
He really does. He's put up with me for fourteen years.
You're welcome, and good morning.
Yep, an error on me. I should've clarified that I meant while living.
Viacom: The rainbow oral-sex children's book, this show, and MTV is now all over the globe indoctrinating youth in the cool ways of tummy-baring American values. How fitting for the Hildebritches publisher. This company has to go. It is evil personified.
Grow up
Herself, obviously.
If that was said about Islam....
It is unfortunate that you seem to embrace secular humanism which is a spirit killing belief. Mother T. may not have been particular how she got money to help the poor, but help the poor she did, in the most devastating of circumstances.
You apparently got your information from sites like these:

Read the tagline
Truly sickening.
Just thought I would add my two cents. I read a few things that were negative about Mother Theresa but never really found any smoking gun except for allegations from anti-Christians. I am sure that she did lots of good works and also made many mistakes and committed sins (like any other person).
I think she worked the media well but for a good cause. Not a Catholic so could not comment on anything about sainthood etc. Most of the arguements about her stem from the lack of auditing of her organisation and her views on abortion. Personally I think she did a lot of good and cared a great deal. At the end of the day (in my opinion) God will judge us all and will judge us all as humans not as saints.
Not a big fan of those sleight of hand f***s in the first place..
