Her famous Calcutta clinic was in fact nothing more than a primitive hospice?a place for people to die, and a place where medical treatment was vestigial or nonexistent. (When she became ill herself, she flew first-class to a private clinic in California.) The vast sums of money she raised were spent mainly on building convents in her own honor. And she had befriended a whole series of rich crooks and exploiters, ranging from Charles Keating of the Lincoln Savings & Loan to the hideous Duvalier dynasty in Haiti, having accepted from both large donations of money that had actually been stolen from the poor.

is a fraudster who preaches surrender and fatalism to the poor.

It is probably true that people need saints, and that some historical figures have demonstrated great modesty, humility, and simplicity. But Mother Teresa lays claim to the mandate of heaven, which is hardly modest. She acts as spiritual camouflage for dictators and wealthy potentates?hardly the essence of simplicity. And she preaches surrender and fatalism to the poor, which a truly humble person would scarcely have the nerve to do.

Agnes Bojaxhiu was very fond of saying that her work was religious and not humanitarian, that suffering and disease were gifts from God, that family planning was morally equivalent to abortion and that all abortion was murder. But, by some similar charismatic knack, she couldn't get anyone to believe her either.

is responsible for millions of people becoming poorer or sicker or dead because of her campaign against the empowerment of women in the Third World.

Millions of people are poorer or sicker or have died because of Mother Teresa's campaign against the empowerment of women in the Third World. She has gigantically increased the amount of poverty and misery in the world. And she was on the take from the vilest elements of the rich.... She was a terrible person.
