Christine,
Those things are not in the least in line with anything I have ever read about Mother Thearesa. They are also not in line with what is widely believed and accepted by most if not all historians regarding her life and work.
Remember, I can show you sites that denigrate Martin Luther King, Ghandi, or any other real and legitimate hero, sies that will show warts that are to some degree true, and to some degree not. There are no perfect people, and hero's are the easiet to tear down.
I am not christian, but in many people's zeal to tear down the church, they attack any bright light in the christian horizon. Again, some may be true, and much isn't. Nothing in this world is wholly good or evil, and that includes all our heros and insititutions, religious or otherwise.
Mother Thereasa spent her life in leper colonies and the worst slums oin the planet, trying to help people. I'm sorry that you dont like the methods she used, but it certainly wasnt for her own gain or comfort, and I am fairly sure that it is far more than either you or I have ever done.
