Mother Theresa scammed the sick and dying for money and piety. She is no Saint. Dood.

I was at a protest once and when the police came some old midwestern white mom yelled 'REMEMBER WHAT GHANDI WOULD DO, DO NOT RESIST THE POLICE, SHOW THEM RESPECT' and I realized in that moment I hate the left more than the establishment and I joined in with the police on dispersing the crowd

Gandhi would have got his rear end lynched in Mississippi. He had numbers on his side, that's why that poo poo worked.

Gandhi's objection to separate entrances for Blacks and Whites in South Africa was that colonial policy lumped Indians in with the blacks. He successfully lobbied for a third "Asiatics" entrance at the post office.

Nah he hated black people as much as any klan member. He would definitely be considered one of the "good ones."

For all the problematic things he did, he at least acknowledged the injustice of the caste system, and said that he would rather see India and her religion die than suffer the continuation of the discrimination against the untouchables.

It makes me lol that anti-religion Hitchens died and yet his brother who can only muster one article a week for the Daily Mail because it takes him that long to work up enough hateful bile lives on praising Jesus and extolling the virtues of Christianity.

this is a myth that hitchens made up, the whole point of the particular missionaries that St Theresa was part of is to actually live in poverty, exactly like the actual people they're surrounded by, its not the "lets build a well and a nice house out here in africa and wave some bibles around", they only have one set of clothes and live in squalor with the poor themselves. All the money goes back to the global church which then gets spent on more traditional charity stuff. Your friend was right and you dont know anything about what you were talking about

Yeah, but didn't St Theresa believe that the poor, suffering and dying were blessed, since suffering was good for your soul? Kind of a weird lady, even if she did good stuff.

The particular branch of missionaries don't build hospitals, their whole thing is giving water to dying people in the gutter that would have died without water, and living exactly as the poor are living... they aren't allowed to have money at all, it goes to other branches. This is india where dying totally alone while people step on you is pretty common

edit: its like you noobs have never heard of a vow of poverty before

Misappropriating funds isn't really the thing she's most criticized for. It's standing by and doing nothing in instances where she could definitely have helped because her order believes that suffering is good for the soul. Ergo, she prolonged suffering.
