Cleopatra Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Researchers into the life of Mother Teresa are attempting to cast doubt on her saintlyness by stating that her care of the sick was dubious and her handling of the hundreds of million of pounds in donations suspicious. Was she has saintly as the media portrayed her or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 I wouldn't care to take a guess at this one Cleo, the lady in question is not here to defend herself and unless they present some hard facts and figures plus witnesses it will be a hard case to prove against her. Who will be next, Joan of Arc or perhaps Jesus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 I never met her so I am unable to form an opinion but I am happy to accept the popular image of the old lady that was depicted when she was alive. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Sid Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 The question to ask is. "was she personally responsible for the distribution of the donations recieved in her name or was she just the figurehead for the organisation that handled the money" As for her care of the sick it comes down to what standards are set by which to judge. The standards at the time she was trained, if she had formal training that is, or the standards that apply today where everything is done by the ticking of boxes. What was once acceptable practice is now probably illegal at worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Not sure why this story has been resurrected. I think it was a World in Action programme many years ago that published evidence that she was a fraud. Most of her homes for the sick and dying had no doctors; or have medicine, people just went there to die by the order of the Catholic Church. She had loads of money, yet the homes had terrible conditions and family members were not allowed to visit. Of the millions that she possessed, most of it was spent on spreading new branches of the Missionaries of Charity, religious services, hiring more nuns, and not helping the poor. Not sure what is true but the research is old hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grey_man Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 People have been asking this for twenty or more years. Christopher Hitchens wrote and presented this documentary in the 1990s . Still only his opinion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
