I suppose SHE would gripe at Father Damien who worked with the lepers in Hawaii.

Even the US Government honored him for his work.

There are times she needs to shut up or find better political battles to fight.

Father Damien didn't need to be media-vac'ed out of Hawaii and he didn't risk bringing his disease to the mainland of the USA. In fact, he chose to die there.

Fr. Damien didn’t leave a wife and kids either. He knew he was taking a one way trip and did not ask his country to bring him home when he contracted the disease. I would not go as far as Ann but I’ve been skeptical of these feel good lay person with a family missions for a long time particularly the weekend or two week vacation ones to Latin America.
