A lot of Catholics disagree with you--Sister Virgin to name only one.The SOC area of operation is the Calcutta area - not Ethiopa. Then the donations for Ethiopia, etc should be returned and directed to the appropriate agencies--HUH??Don't judge these people with your morals until you have walked a mile in their shoes. Everyone but yourself and them are to be restricted from judgments and opinions? None of us may attempt to contribute to society unless we can prove personal experience in all the things we disagree with? All those attempting to give an honest balance to the truth of history before it becomes lost in the past, are to be restrained from the effort? I'm sorry, you're in a different universe.Chris has offered to begin a collection for a ticket if you decide to go. Give me the SOC collection. I'm ready to fly first class, make speeches to Presidents, forgive people, have Presidential hospital care, etc. Tell me, did you read somewhere that Mother suffered at any time other than on the train?? Tell me where she suffered? Do you think that "working" with the suffering is synonymous with suffering. I think for some people it is. I think she, however, was one of an extremely small percentage of people in the world for whom the suffering of others was JOY--even BLISS. This is not disputed by anyone. She thought there was no more beautiful and joyful goal than to experience the suffering of Jesus (as she was wont to call it). And if YOU don't understand the truth of this, then you have no way of comprehending the anger and rage that is felt by many people over what her ministry did and didn't do. So when did she suffer?
