Ahhh! Alright Mother Theresa was a great person. She's a better person than me! Boy did I ever get myself into one. It's just that people think she should be made into an actual Saint and the woman while a humanitarian never ever performed any miracles or miraculouse healings. BUT SHE DID USE MEDICINE! And okay, so she took in stolen money and cuddled up to a few dicators she still helped poor dying people. SORRY!

Don't be a liberal. Just issue an apology without including little untrue digs.

You shouldn't believe everything Christopher Hitchens whispers in your ear while he's . . . . oh, nevermind.
I'm not getting banned for the likes of you.

Nobody is actually made a saint. They either are a saint, by their direct ascent to heaven after death, or they are not a saint. The Church can only 'report the news.'

Alright Mother Theresa was a great person. She's a better person than me! Perhaps if you occasionally set aside your youthful defiance and looked for people of virtue to pattern your life after you would become a better person. And I am not saying this to be abrasive, I am saying this because I too was young once and would say asinine things merely for effect with no thought of the consequences.

Wow. Wrong side of the bed this morning? Tell us what sources you have for this info? Stolen money? Dictators? Have you read any of the accounts of her life, especially those written in the early years? I recommend an account by Malcolm Muggeridge, at the time a secular reporter skeptical of her and her work, he became a true supporter of her and enamored with her work and rediscovered his faith.
And while many Saints performed miracles while alive, many did not perform miracles in the traditional sense but lived holy lives and some, by their actions made life better for those around them. Some performed no known miracles and lived cloistered lives of prayer, the miracles or benefits thereof will not be known now.
