I understand there is some conflict as to who Mother Theresa accepted money from and true, she was not "perfect" but she did what I never would have accepted a calling to do. She was not a political person and did what she could, which is so much more than I would do. She did much good and gave out a spiritual message of giving and caring. Moreover, she never thought of herself as holier than thou which I admire in her.
She was a very devout Catholic yet never pressured anyone to accept her beliefs. She would say to someone," You pray your Hindu prayer while I sit here and pray with you with my Christian prayer." That is pretty spiritual in my book.

Anyone who wants to call Mother Teresa "overrated" should walk a day in her shoes first.

Thank you. Couldn't have said it better.
