I din't think that Penn and Teller expose the truth. I think they present a very biased opinion. The truth is (as it usually is) is somewhere in the middle.

Yes, I would have a problem if someone railed on him for doing charity work because even that wasn't good enough or perfect enough for them. Seems you just like to bash anyone with any religious affiliations regardless of the good deeds that they do. You don't know shit about the work she did in India. You see a 10 minute clip from a couple of magicians/comedians and think you are an expert on her life? Give us all a break from your hate.

As for Sainthood, BM, I really don't care about sainthood. Like I said, I don't get into the whole saints thing. I'm not Catholic.

I just think that to sit around bashing a woman who very CLEARLY must have thought that she was doing the best work that she could to help the poor is in VERY BAD TASTE. If all of us were willing to dedicate our entire lives to help others, like she did, even if we were not perfect, this world would be a much better place.

She died in poverty herself. What did she have? Her robes to cover herself and her frail little body? What else? Nothing. She gave all she had. I can't believe people are targeting her with their hate because they are conflicted about religion. Good deeds are good deeds whether you believe in God, the church, aliens or whatever. Who cares?

HR, go back to first year of law school and read Larry Flint Vs Falwell. If you're a public person you are subject to greater scrutiny, critique and ridicule. Secondly, you make a no basis claim for her good works....all hearsay...She let dying people die.......and self admittedly endorsed suffering? Contrary to your assertion, people who have met and worked for her claimed her endorsement of suffering and actually "know" her. Hell, Hitchens actually met Mother T unlike you. I think it's generally accepted people prefer not to suffer and the dying prefer pain meds over suffering........ Your personal attacks on me just show your true colors and lack of a valid argument....stick to the facts. You know next to nothing about me or my relationships.....

BTW, my ex wife called me the,"The smartest and kindest person I've ever known."

mere speculation on your part. You really have no idea about the finances of the charities or the church.

You also have no idea what work those nuns were doing in the nunneries. I doubt they just sat on their asses all day. They normally do lots of good charity work.

Plus, I don't think anyone was mislead to think that donating to MOTHER THERESA was not affiliated with the Catholic Church.

Really people, do you have any good evidence before you lambast this woman who died penniless and with nothing but her good name? Man, you people are quick to deride a person based on speculation and nasty rumor.

All anyone has to do is start a rumor and many people automatically believe it. It's happened here many times.
