All your defenses are not describing Mother Teresa. Forty years of her own letters tell us she doubted the existence of the Triune God; she doubted Christ's divinity; she doubted He died for her sins; she doubted she was saved and she had stopped praying.
Rome has concocted a figment of its imagination. That figment did not exist. Instead, she was a tormented and sad woman who was weighted down with fear and doubt.
I can understand why this appeals to you.
It doesn't to most Christians. That's not how they have learned Christ.

That's right: she doubted the Jesus story, the God Christianity created. She doubted the whole nine yards because the story doesn't fit the real world.
- Rome has concocted a figment of its imagination.
And what other Christians preach is a "fact?"
- That figment did not exist. Instead, she was a tormented and sad woman who was weighted down with fear and doubt.
That's correct. It doesn't exist. The reality does not fit the Christian theodicy. She wouldn't be the first to leave the faith over this.

There's hope for you, then. : )
- It doesn't to most Christians. That's not how they have learned Christ.
Most Christians have never faced the reality she faced.
