The only good explanation for the leftists hate is that the good done by Mother Teresa wasn’t done in the name of atheist socialism.
The Left hates everything good and decent. Why should not they hate Mother Teresa, and us?
All donations to Teresa went to Vatican and poor remain poor and Clergy remain Rich.
Why?
Because a devout Christian looks and acts like Mother Theresa and a devout muslim looks and acts like Osama bin Laden or Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi
Here she is praising mass-murderer Mao Tse Tung and his communist revolution before an audience of graduating ** high-schoolers**!("St. Andrews Episcopal school at the Washington National Cathedral"). A video link is provided at the end of this post.
Anita Dunn: "The third lesson and tip actually comes from two of my favorite political philosophers, Mao Tse Tung and Mother Teresa. Not often coupled with each other, but the two people that I turn to most to basically deliver a simple point, which is: You're going to make choices. ... But here's the deal: These are your choices; they are no one else's.
"In 1947, when Mao Tse Tung was being challenged within his own party on his own plan to basically take China over, Chiang Kai-Shek and the nationalist Chinese held the cities, they had the army. ... They had everything on their side. And people said 'How can you win? How can you do this against all of the odds against you?'
"And Mao Tse Tung says, 'You fight your war and I'll fight mine.' You don't have to accept the definition of how to do things. ... You fight your war, you let them fight theirs. Everybody has their own path."..."

Policies implemented under Mao Tse Tung, including the civil war, the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, and persecution in Tibet, among other policies, led to death of an estimated 65 million people, according to The Black Book of Communism (Harvard University Press), which is considered by scholars as one of the best sources on communist atrocities.
Mao also outlawed religion and sent at least 2.5 million people to "re-education camps," called "laogai," which were similar to the slave-labor camps in the Gulag of the Soviet Union. An estimated 1,000 laogai reportedly are still in operation today

If you want adoration from the left, you have to be pro abortion. Simple as that.
signs of evil:
-hatred of the good for being the good
-use of force to do harm to innocents
-pride in committing evil
Now compare that to muslims...
Mother Teresa believed that life was sacred at every step. Its not hard. Life does not have to be long, or comfortable. But life is given, one to each of us. And we should respect each other’s and our own. That is mother Teresa’s message. God gave us life. And we should have love for God and for life. Or as the Bible puts it. “’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. ... 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.”
To attack Mother Teresa is to attack Christianity.
I don't think Mother Teresa ever gave a sh!t about being judged by "any metric of medical standards." If she wanted to be a doctor (and was capable of it), she would have gone to medical school.
I have an interesting take on Mother Teresa's legacy in India. This is right from someone who was born and raised in India, from the highest caste in the country. He tells me that many of the elite Hindus in India despised Mother Teresa because they were so embarrassed by the exposure she brought to the sh!t-hole country of theirs.
There was a Pharmacist in my town who was in the Marine Raiders on Guadacanal. He was terribly wounded in the battle for Bloody Ridge, and he was sent to a hospital the nuns had on the other side of the island (as there were no hospital ships in the area yet and he was far beyond a field medic’s capabilities. He stayed in this hospital for some time, a risk to the French nuns who ran the hospital and the natives who the hospital was for.But by the time the Japanese gave up on the island and the remnant was evacuated, and the hospital ship came , he was able to be loaded and sent back to New Orleans military hospital. We talked at length about his experience ( he went to pharmacy classes at Old Miss in a program that was a precursor to the G.I.Bill, and later bought a drugstore from the man he worked for. But one of the most interesting things was he said Mother Teresa, at that time a young nun working in this hot island jungle hospital, was one of the nuns at that hospital. I don’t know how to collaborate it, but he was not a man to make up stories, embellish the truth and found himself on Guadacanal by a stupid decision he made with a friend.( enlisted in the U.S. Marines and volunteering for “a dangerous mission”). I don’t know the order the nuns belonged to nor Mother Teresa’a order in the early 1940s. He had shrapnel still in both arms and legs as he tried to shield his face when a bottle grenade landed in front of him (a fused grenade the Japanese used) He lost one eye and his leg was shattered, some internal injuries. He may have kept up with her and donated to her work though the years. I do know he was a Catholic and a Knight of Columbus. He helped poor people in his town with prescriptions they couldn’t pay for. He passed away a couple of years ago, and is interred at the Missisippi Veterans Cemetary in Newton Ms. Benjamin Quintana
But if anyone knows , by reading a book on Mother Teresa,, having the facts or whatever , to collaborate her location in 1942, let me know.
Judeo-Christian faith in God scares the bejesus out of them.
I remember way back when Mother Teresa was a younger and more vigorous woman, that she carried the dying street people up the stairs to their rooms in her humble hospice in Calcutta.
At the time, the leftists screeched that Mother Teresa was “robbing these people of the dignity” by carrying them up the stairs instead of installing an elevator.
I kid you NOT.
It is only a memory of mine, so I don’t have a link. It was also in the days before the Internet.
If anyone should be canonized, it is Mother Teresa. However, I wish they’d have a rule to wait 50 years or so. That way emotions of the time don’t effect the decision. I can imagine a push for Francis to be canonized shortly after his death.
This is happening in our neck of the woods, we may go...

p.s. I was there to hear her talk at the Thomas Aquinas College commencement of 1982. She spoke so softly everyone was straining to hear her, you could hear a pin drop.
Mother Theresa was not trying to be a health program for those who were suffering. She could have become a doctor or founded a hospital for that. Plenty of orders of religious have done that. She was trying to be a friend. That really doesn’t fit into a Leftist mindset.
