I regreat that I’m not skilled in doing links. But for someone who will do it, at Zenit.org there is a September 2, 2010 interview with Fr. Joseph Langford, MC. He is the priest who together with Mother Teresa founded the priests of the Missionaries of Charity, her priestly congregation.

That interview should put some truth to the life, works and faith of Mother Teresa, and put to rest—at least for those who truly want to be reasonable—some of these unfounded and almost cruel comments about her life and work.

The other side, those here maybe just quoting what they got from other sources, is so outraged by Mother Teresa that, though they rebuke our understanding of the binding and loosing sayings, they say she deserves Hell.

The other side, is so offended by Mother Teresa's obvious grace that they heedlessly embrace falsehoods about her as truth.

I know parents for whom nothing their children do is ever quite enough. They have forgotten that love is the law-giver, that unless they evangelize their children not with words but with deeds of love, they are failing in their duty.

Here, for the other side, a life given to washing in a bucket and kneeling on stone before going out to love the unloved and almost unlovable, such a life is contemptible and damned because mangled quotes suggest that maybe Mother Teresa did not agree with them in every particular.

Mt 15:18 - This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
Mk: 7:6 - He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of [these] hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
