WELL DONE ANTHONY.

Abuses at the Mother Teresa centers have been documented by several people who worked at them.

Just because you didn't see them doesn't mean they didn't happen. It's about time the Mother Teresa myth was exposed for the sham that it is.

There are many people in the world who are really working hard to relieve the suffering of the poor and the sick and the disabled and the dying, but they get no press attention and they have to struggle for funds.

Meanwhile Mother Teresa received millions in "charity" that went to the Vatican and never helped anyone. The world needs to know about this.

The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice is a book by Christopher Hitchens about Mother Teresa's life and work.

In the book, Hitchens details Mother Teresa's relationships with wealthy and corrupt individuals including Haitian dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier and his wife Michèle Duvalier, enigmatic quasi-religious figure John-Roger, and disgraced former financial executive Charles Keating.

The Sunday Times said: "A dirty job but someone had to do it. By the end of this elegantly written, brilliantly argued piece of polemic, it is not looking good for Mother Teresa.

Protest The Pope

Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu actually repudiated her faith at the end of her life. She admitted that she'd never felt the pesence of the Holy spirit, or the sacred Mother, or her Savior Jesus. Not once, not during cimmunion or prayer.

It's hard to know what to believe any more. Could Mother Teresa really have been a fraud? I don't want to believe it, but the way things are in the world, it wouldn't surprise me. Does anyone else have any thoughts?

I've certainly got no evidence one way or another, however a Google search has indeed highlighted many instances where claims she made have been authoritatively dismissed as being exaggerated or false, but again I don't know the veracity of many of those sources. But looking at articles like this - The fanatic, fraudulent Mother Teresa. - By Christopher Hitchens - Slate Magazine - and this - Mother Teresa: Faithless Fraud and Hypocrite | Mostly Water - it's hard not to believe that she wasn't anywhere near as 'saintly' as both she and the Catholic Church would have us think. Having said that, she undoubtedly did a huge amount of good for India's poor, no-one can take that away from her.
