She was a stupid, shriveled old bat, who in her Noble prize acceptance speech said "Abortion is the greatest danger to world peace". I have never heard anything more stupid than that. She opposed contraceptives, advocated 'natural' family planning (that is just not having sex) in a country which is suffering from the ill effects of population explosion and the the government of the country is showing 'abortive pills' commercials everywhere. Millions of dollars of Government money is going into promotion of contraceptives and Mother Teresa is going directly opposite to it.
Her love for the dying, not the living, is really absurd. Let me quote one of her speech.
"The poor people are very great people. They can teach us so many beautiful things. The other day one of them came to thank and said: You people who have vowed chastity you are the best people to teach us family planning. Because it is nothing more than self-control out of love for each other. And I think they said a beautiful sentence. And these are people who maybe have nothing to eat, maybe they have not a home where to live, but they are great people. The poor are very wonderful people. One evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street. And one of them was in a most terrible condition - and I told the Sisters: You take care of the other three, I take of this one that looked worse. So I did for her all that my love can do. I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand, as she said one word only: Thank you - and she died."
Her love was not for the poor, it was for the poverty. She never did anything to eradicate poverty, in fact she did everything to nurture and conserve poverty. It is clear from the part I quoted above, how much she loved poverty. "poor are great people", "poor are wonderful people", which means what, if they stop being poor, they will become bad people?
