opinion of mother teresa

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

because apparently snowstalker thinks she's a massive hp:

Everyone on that list is a massive HP.

[Deus Naturae]

Didn't it turn out that she deliberately denied kids anesthesia so that they could feel "closer to Christ?" I don't really care to bash Mother Teresa but I've encountered many people on the internet who dislike her.

It's probably because she is

Snowstalker is right on this one.

What the hell? Nothing written in there made Mother Teresa look bad. She believed all religions could lead to salvation...OMG what an evil woman!

Joke article.

Mother Teresa wasn't in charge of India's health system. She chose to help the poor and dying the way she chose to help them. Not my cup of tea, but there isn’t anything horrible about this. She ran a religious society based on her religious views, and that’s that. If you didn't want to die that way, there were plenty of other aid agencies active at the time.

This. For the matter of record I consider genuine humanitarians such as Albert Schweitzer FFs even if they were theological liberals.

That's her religious beliefs though. She did help a lot of people, and not only those who were sick but also a lot of kids who had nowhere else to go. I have actually been to her mission in Kolkata and I can assure you they are doing good work. I don't like the fact that the Communist party headquarters of West Bengal are located right next to the mission, but other than that they are a freedom organization. They should be the model for missionaries who help the poor in India, not zealous baptists and others who care more about converting people than helping them.

Awful.

[Kushahontas]

massive HP, fraud, anti-choice scum, anti-feminist, repulsive

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

She did a lot of good work but it wasn't by any means unsullied and the idea that there was anything particularly special about it or her is dubious and overinflated in the popular imagination. She almost certainly did not deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

I can see where some people would consider an HP, but I fail to see how she rises to "massive HP" status.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

She almost certainly did not deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.

That is true of most Nobel Prize winners, of course. The fact that Bob Dylan has not gotten a Nobel Prize yet is infuriating to me, since we are on the subject .

Literature, I'm assuming? Personally Leonard Cohen is my songwriter of choice to have that particular outrage over, but I know exactly how it feels.

I have to say, I'm kind of surprised that's the attitude you'd have toward her.  That's not to say I think she was flawless, but Mother Teresa always seemed, to me, like one of those figures that most people - Christians, certainly - would admire in spite of her faults, and yes, there were some big ones.

That being said, I voted FF on balance.  I obviously don't agree at all with her "methods," but, as has been stated, she operated according to her religious beliefs and offered her help to anyone who wanted it.  She never insisted that her way was "the only way."

[free my dawg]

If there is a Hell, I am fully confident she is rotting in it for her beliefs on pain.

Definite FF.

Regardless of whether you buy into the idea that she was corrupt, she opened her doors to everyone and treated everyone the same.

I do admire her, it's just that I equally admire many, many other aid workers and medical care providers in India and throughout the poorer parts of the world.
