It should be noted that one of Saint Teresa's main contributers & funders was Lincoln Savings & Loan swindler Charles Keating who cost the US around $4Bil back in the 1980's under Ronald Regan . Keating was an arch Catholic fundamentalist who got well known much earlier for his attack on Hugh Hefner & Playboy magazine and would prolly be one of Brummys righteous heros ...

Wonderful, wheels turned around & for all that righteousess look who went away :



Keating, a “Catholic fundamentalist”, gave Mother Teresa one and a quarter million dollars and “the use of his private jet."During the course of Keating’s trial, Mother Teresa wrote Judge Ito asking clemency and
asked Ito “to do what Jesus would do".

One of the prosecutors in the trial wrote her telling her “of 17,000 individuals from whom Mr. Keating stole $252,000,000.” He added, “You urge Judge Ito to look into his heart--as he sentences Charles Keating--and do what Jesus would do. I submit the same challenge to you. Ask yourself what Jesus would do if he were given the fruits of a crime; what Jesus would do if he were in possession of money that had been stolen; what Jesus would do if he were being exploited by a thief to ease his conscience.” The prosecutor asked her to return the money, and offered to put her “in direct contact with the rightful owners of the property now in your possession.” This supposed paragon of virtue never replied to his letter.
