Mother Teresa: For the Love of God? review – damning testimony from a killer witness

Post by Anchor Moy »

The other side of Mother Theresa ? Was she crazy ? Haven't seen this, but reading the review, it really reminded me of some of the questionable health charities, schools, and 'orphanages' that have been set up in Cambodia.

Mother Teresa: For the Love of God? review – damning testimony from a killer witness
Did the nun really deserve her saintly reputation? She inspired a craze for self-flagellation among her ‘sisters’, says one woman in this shocking three-parter, while a street doctor is even more scathing
‘Our calling is not necessarily to cure … suffering shared with Christ’s passion is a wonderful thing’ … Mother Teresa in 1987.

Who could have foreseen, when Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu was born in what is now Skopje, North Macedonia, in August 1910, that she would become one of the icons of the 20th century, recognised across the globe as Mother Teresa, saintly giver of comfort to the destitute? More specifically, who could have predicted that she would embody so much of what was wrong with that century and the next? The three-part documentary Mother Teresa: For the Love of God? (Sky Documentaries) sets out the pros and cons of Teresa mania, finding the good to be fragile and the bad, profound.

Christopher Hitchens did an exposure of her in 1994.

Silence, exile, and cunning.

The Hitchens book "The Missionary position" is a good insight into her cult

I've always thought the bint was way overrated.
