Well, obviously, not all religions are true. Christ only has ONE religion. . it's all He needed, but humans are complicated.. read: sinful and rebellious

I'd have to find and watch the documentaries again to know. I do know that she spent the money on spreading Christianity rather than alleviate the suffering of the dying. She just let them die in agony claiming it was God’s punishment for their sins.

You would be much better off reading a book or an Encyclopedia instead of nonsensical conspiracy theory documentaries - created with the sole purpose of getting reactions out of people - whether good or bad.

Mother Teresa lived and worked in the poorest of the poorest countries of the world - among the poorest of the poor of those countries. She had very little to no resources - especially in regards to healthcare. She turned her "Churches" into hospices that treated the dying mercifully - the deathly ill could go to a safe place with moderate medical treatment, food, housing, etc - INSTEAD of dying on the streets from starvation or worse yet, becoming an outcast, possibly even killed.

People who do not understand the state of the world and compare things to the modern day Western World with hospitals, food, healthcare on every corner have no idea what the world was like in the poorest slums of India during the 1900's - there was no cure for leprosy, or the diseases they dealt with - certainly not available to them.




On 7 October 1950, Mother Teresa received Vatican permission for the diocesan congregation, which would become the Missionaries of Charity.[50] In her words, it would care for "the hungry, the naked, the homeless, the crippled, the blind, the lepers, all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone".[51]

In 1952, Mother Teresa opened her first hospice with help from Calcutta officials. She converted an abandoned Hindu temple into the Kalighat Home for the Dying, free for the poor, and renamed it Kalighat, the Home of the Pure Heart (Nirmal Hriday).[52] Those brought to the home received medical attention and the opportunity to die with dignity in accordance with their faith: Muslims were to read the Quran, Hindus received water from the Ganges, and Catholics received extreme unction.[53] "A beautiful death", Mother Teresa said, "is for people who lived like animals to die like angels—loved and wanted."[53]

She opened a hospice for those with leprosy, calling it Shanti Nagar (City of Peace).[54] The Missionaries of Charity established leprosy-outreach clinics throughout Calcutta, providing medication, dressings and food.[55] The Missionaries of Charity took in an increasing number of homeless children; in 1955, Mother Teresa opened Nirmala Shishu Bhavan, the Children's Home of the Immaculate Heart, as a haven for orphans and homeless youth.[56]

The congregation began to attract recruits and donations, and by the 1960s it had opened hospices, orphanages and leper houses throughout India. Mother Teresa then expanded the congregation abroad, opening a house in Venezuela in 1965 with five sisters.[57] Houses followed in Italy (Rome), Tanzania and Austria in 1968, and, during the 1970s, the congregation opened houses and foundations in the United States and dozens of countries in Asia, Africa and Europe.[58]

There are several documentaries and videos showing that Mother Terese didn't do Jack Shit for the suffering but collected gazllions for building Christian Churches. I'd have to find and watch the documentaries again to know. I do know that she spent the money on spreading Christianity rather than alleviate the suffering of the dying. She just let them die in agony claiming it was God’s punishment for their sins.

Encyclopedia Britannica:


In 1946 Mother Teresa experienced her “call within a call,” which she considered divine inspiration to devote herself to caring for the sick and poor. She left her teaching position at a Kolkata school run by the Sisters of Loreto in 1948 and moved into the city’s slums, where she founded the Missionaries of Charity. There were 12 original sisters, many of whom had followed her from the school. Burdened by the hardships faced by the poor around her, Mother Teresa described her vision for the order:

The aim of the Missionary Sisters of Charity is to devote themselves heart and soul and exclusively to the material and spiritual welfare of all destitute people, the helpless poor, neglected children, the abandoned sick, lepers, and deserving beggars—in short all those unfortunates who, either through their own neglect or through lack of public concern, are left to drift through life without help or hope.

Some of the order’s earliest efforts were to open schools, medical dispensaries, and food distribution centres. In the 1950s many of the local hospitals in Kolkata could not accept poor people who were deemed to be beyond medical help; such destitute people were sometimes left to die in the streets if their families were unable to care for them. In 1952 Mother Teresa established Nirmal Hriday (“Home for the Pure of Heart”), a hospice where the terminally ill could die with dignity; her order also opened numerous centres serving the blind, the aged, and the disabled. Under Mother Teresa’s guidance, the Missionaries of Charity built a leper colony, called Shanti Nagar (“Town of Peace”), near Asansol, India. By the time of her death, in 1997, the order included hundreds of centres in more than 90 countries and was supported by religious sisters and thousands of lay workers and volunteers.

Missionaries of Charity, Roman Catholic congregation of women dedicated to the poor, particularly to the destitute of India, founded by Mother Teresa in Kolkata in 1950. That same year the order received canonical sanction from Pope Pius XII, and in 1965 it became a pontifical congregation (subject

THE NOBEL PRIZE:


On October 7, 1950, Mother Teresa received permission from the Holy See to start her own order, “The Missionaries of Charity”, whose primary task was to love and care for those persons nobody was prepared to look after. In 1965 the Society became an International Religious Family by a decree of Pope Paul VI.

Today the order comprises Active and Contemplative branches of Sisters and Brothers in many countries. In 1963 both the Contemplative branch of the Sisters and the Active branch of the Brothers was founded. In 1979 the Contemplative branch of the Brothers was added, and in 1984 the Priest branch was established.

The Society of Missionaries has spread all over the world, including the former Soviet Union and Eastern European countries. They provide effective help to the poorest of the poor in a number of countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and they undertake relief work in the wake of natural catastrophes such as floods, epidemics, and famine, and for refugees. The order also has houses in North America, Europe and Australia, where they take care of the shut-ins, alcoholics, homeless, and AIDS sufferers.

The Missionaries of Charity throughout the world are aided and assisted by Co-Workers who became an official International Association on March 29, 1969. By the 1990s there were over one million Co-Workers in more than 40 countries. Along with the Co-Workers, the lay Missionaries of Charity try to follow Mother Teresa’s spirit and charism in their families.

Mother Teresa’s work has been recognised and acclaimed throughout the world and she has received a number of awards and distinctions, including the Pope John XXIII Peace Prize (1971) and the Nehru Prize for her promotion of international peace and understanding (1972). She also received the Balzan Prize (1979) and the Templeton and Magsaysay awards.
