Christine, She spent her entire life in the poorest sections of the world, in leper colonies. She certainly wasnt using that money for her own lifestyle. As for changing the social structure of India, that wasnt her job as she percieved it. One nun is not going to change the social structure of a country that goes back for thousands of years. I think it is wrong tolay that at her feet. she administered to people (dying or alive) that no one else would deal with, or would have left to die in the street. she did not turn people away due to race, color, creed, religion, sexual preference, or health status. I have read a book by called tying rocks to clouds, wherein the author interviews many of the great spiritual leaders of our time. he went to India to witness her work firsthand, and was extremely complimentary. In his interview with the Dali LLama, the Dali LLama went out of his way to praise her. If you are a public person, there will always be someone who wants to tear you down. I am sure there will be books that cast her negatively, but they will always be outweighed by the volumes that praise her, and the actual work that she left behind. mark
