Isn't that the woman who said she didn't know if God or heaven existed, that her faith had failed her and that she felt empty and alone for the last 40 years of her life?

MOTHER TERESA'S '40-YEAR FAITH CRISIS'

"Lord, my God, you have thrown [me] away as unwanted - unloved,” she wrote in one missive. “I call, I cling, I want, and there is no one to answer, no, no one. Alone. Where is my faith? even deep down right in there is nothing. I have no faith. I dare not utter the words and thoughts that crowd in my heart.”

She added: “I am told God loves me, and yet the reality of the darkness and coldness and emptiness is so great that nothing touches my soul. Did I make a mistake in surrendering blindly to the Call of the Sacred Heart?

Maybe Mother Teresa would have been better off suffering some of that "sin of presumption" which afflicts us Bible-believing Christians.

By the grace of God.

"This is why it is dangerous to have Roman Catholics in positions of power."

How true. Those in positions of power in the RCC are all men and those such as Mother Theresa would never be allowed to join the power elite.
