^^ I suppose you and I have a different understanding of what “information” is. If it’s important for you guys that she’d be demonized—as a sort of exorcism to her canonization—be my guest. But this is just a witch hunt, it’s not information.
Any blogger can write any shit about anyone, it doesn’t make it “information” in my mind. The blog entry shared by ragingloli has some factual inaccuracies and approximations. E.g. it mentions the International Health Organisation, which does not appear to exist… (I checked, you didn’t) And it doesn’t share its sources. Why do assume it’s genuine information? Because it tells you what you want to hear, period.
The Forbes article your shared starts with these words, which you of course omited in your quote:
“She was compassion incarnate; she didn’t think twice before touching a leper on the road or cleaning a festering wound on an unfortunate soul. She was equally at ease breaking bread with the homeless at Nirmal Hriday or standing toe-to-toe with world leaders exhorting them to do good. She was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in faraway Albania a 100 years ago on August 26. The world knows her as Mother Teresa. Social workers all around the world have drawn inspiration from her work and commitment to her cause. Yet, today in her centennial year, her legacy has lost its shine and is in disrepair.”
This article was not a critique of Mother Teresa but of what became of her foundation… yet you made it look like it was about her. That’s DISinformation, not information…
My bottom line is: if any one of you thinks that he or she can bring better health care to the dying poor of Calcuta or anywhere else, you’re most welcome to try. Go at once! Leave your little confort and go across the globe caring for people who have nowhere else to go. Or you can stay confy at home, complain that those darn Catholics—because it’s always bad when it’s them Catholic, right?—are ruining the whole world, without moving a finger yourself.
