I'm not a religious person-(nor the opposite-I'm really pretty spiritually wimpy)---and I don't mean to be defending Mother Teresa's creed. But the entire tone of this article sounded close-minded and judgmental to me, making little mention of the good that she did do- and there surely was a great deal. We seem so eager to quantify and measure goodness, keep a ledger of credits and debits. How much was enough? I find the entire Saint Diana thing ludicrous also. She had a great deal of money, no work, her children were in boarding school, her life filled with servants...she played and vacationed a lot and she also did try to do some good. But the Nobel?
Do you not think that the Church was exploiting MT, rather than her being that savvy? Or maybe both she and Di were kindred souls--recognizing great PR and photo ops when they saw them and using them to further the goals they believed in.
What would have been MT's agenda in "bluffing"???
