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.

And what other Christians preach is a "fact?"

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. : )

Most Christians have never faced the reality she faced.
