St. Mother Teresa.
Or is it "Mother St. Teresa"?
Either way: dear Teresa, servant of God, pray for us!

Next Sunday Pope Francis will declare Mother Teresa a saint, the very woman who fought Hillary Clinton tooth and nail for her abortion advocacy.
Before some 3,000 people at the National Prayer Breakfast at the Washington DC Hilton Hotel in 1994—including pro-abortion Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Al and Tipper Gore—Mother Teresa spoke passionately about abortion, calling it the “greatest destroyer of peace today,” “war against the child,” and “murder by the mother herself.”
“And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?” the nun continued.
“By abortion, the mother does not learn to love, but kills even her own child to solve her problems,” she said. “Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. This is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion.”
The swelling applause swept across the room, erupting into a standing ovation that lasted some five or six minutes.
The room was awash with clapping, with one conspicuous exception. At the head table, a few feet away from Mother Teresa, the Clintons and the Gores sat in stony silence, not clapping, not standing.

In a 1986 article titled “Mother Teresa, the Woman of My Nightmares,” a West Germany affiliate of Planned Parenthood ... wrote in an official publication, Sexualpedagogik:
“You, you nightmare of women! [have] become for us the symbol of all that is bad in motherhood and womanhood, an image with which we do not wish to be associated. You unliberated, enslaved wives, mothers, nuns and aunts, what do you want from us, who have finally decided that we are going to take control of our bodies?” the Planned Parenthood essay ran.

Amen!
God Bless and May God Bless Mother Teresa!
Being Catholic, Mother Teresa is someone who I have followed all my life...the goodness that Woman’s soul taught people on living, loving and faith is beyond words...
The first thing I can recall agreeing with P Francis about. Hope springs eternal — good good good
Amen.
Can I hear a chorus of Amens for this post?
Amen.
I thought she had already been canonized. While he is at it, he ought to canonize the Catholic Terri Schindler Schiavo too, who was exterminated the day before the nun.
Exterminated the day before the nun, Mother Theresa, died.
Your suggestion could help a lot in teaching respect for life. And I think she’s eligible as, imho, she was martyred
Pope Francis to Canonize Hillary Clinton
Aieieieeiie! No! No! No!
...Nemesis Mother Teresa
OK, deep calming breaths. In with the good air, out with the Hillary air.
The following is quoted from the Liberty Fund Library "A Plea for Liberty: An Argument Against Socialism and Socialistic Legislation," edited by Thomas Mackay (1849 - 1912), Chapter 1, final paragraphs from Edward Stanley Robertson's essay, "The Impracticability of Socialism":Note the writer's emphasis that the "scheme of Socialism" requires what he calls "the power of restraining the increase in population"--long the essential and primary focus of the Democrat Party in the U. S.:
"I have suggested that the scheme of Socialism is wholly incomplete unless it includes a power of restraining the increase of population, which power is so unwelcome to Englishmen that the very mention of it seems to require an apology. I have showed that in France, where restraints on multiplication have been adopted into the popular code of morals, there is discontent on the one hand at the slow rate of increase, while on the other, there is still a 'proletariat,' and Socialism is still a power in politics.With Hillary, isn't this the choice we must make--a path to tyranny or a possible path back to freedom in America?

"I have put the question, how Socialism would treat the residuum of the working class and of all classes—the class, not specially vicious, nor even necessarily idle, but below the average in power of will and in steadiness of purpose. I have intimated that such persons, if they belong to the upper or middle classes, are kept straight by the fear of falling out of class, and in the working class by positive fear of want. But since Socialism purposes to eliminate the fear of want, and since under Socialism the hierarchy of classes will either not exist at all or be wholly transformed, there remains for such persons no motive at all except physical coercion. Are we to imprison or flog all the 'ne'er-do-wells'?

"I began this paper by pointing out that there are inequalities and anomalies in the material world, some of which, like the obliquity of the ecliptic and the consequent inequality of the day's length, cannot be redressed at all. Others, like the caprices of sunshine and rainfall in different climates, can be mitigated, but must on the whole be endured. I am very far from asserting that the inequalities and anomalies of human society are strictly parallel with those of material nature. I fully admit that we are under an obligation to control nature so far as we can. But I think I have shown that the Socialist scheme cannot be relied upon to control nature, because it refuses to obey her. Socialism attempts to vanquish nature by a front attack. Individualism, on the contrary, is the recognition, in social politics, that nature has a beneficent as well as a malignant side. . . .

"Freedom is the most valuable of all human possessions, next after life itself. It is more valuable, in a manner, than even health. No human agency can secure health; but good laws, justly administered, can and do secure freedom. Freedom, indeed, is almost the only thing that law can secure. Law cannot secure equality, nor can it secure prosperity. In the direction of equality, all that law can do is to secure fair play, which is equality of rights but is not equality of conditions. In the direction of prosperity, all that law can do is to keep the road open. That is the Quintessence of Individualism, and it may fairly challenge comparison with that Quintessence of Socialism we have been discussing. Socialism, disguise it how we may, is the negation of Freedom. That it is so, and that it is also a scheme not capable of producing even material comfort in exchange for the abnegations of Freedom, I think the foregoing considerations amply prove." EDWARD STANLEY ROBERTSON
Does she keep the Mother? Or would she now be St. Teresa of Calcutta?
I’ll second that.
It kind of hit my eye that way too. Good call.
I saw Mother Teresa when she visited Our Lady Help of Christians Church in Newton,MA in 1995.
It was very moving—many cried.
.
Truly a remarkable women....
She either had entrusted herself to Christ alone, for eternal life before her death and she was already a saint, or will never be.
Francis doesn't know and can't declare her one.
Who is Hillary?
“A just-retired Secret Service agent who spent five years on
Hillary Clinton’s protective detail has told a Newsmax source that “only one word adequately describes that woman: witch.””…NewsMax March 20, 2001
“the Democratic Party overlooked the ethical red flags and made a pact with Mr. Clinton that was the equivalent of a pact with the devil. And he delivered. With Mr. Clinton at the controls, the party won the White House twice. But in the process it lost its bearings and maybe even its soul.”…Bob Herbert, NY Times February 26, 2001
Here’s what the headline speaks to. Please read. Note that, while the speech is powerful, Mother T had Hillary working with the poor. That’s not to say Hillary is all good because she did something good once it’s to say that Mother Teresa did things in the Christian way. With love, and bringing Christs mercy to there’s. She was not ‘nice’ she was good. And she was fierce.
I’m pretty sure it was Pope John Paul II that died a few days after Terri Schiavo. I know that Mother Teresa died the same week as Princess Diana.
