The Ugly Truth About Mother Teresa

Someone once told me, “The higher the pedestal, the bigger the shadow is cast and we both know what hides in the dark.” That’s why we always dig deeper, not take things at face value.

"Just because someone writes it down and calls it history, doesn't mean it's true." - Julius Ceasar in an interview with Alex Jones, circa 2020

I remember I loved Mother Teresa, and was all for her becoming beatified, until I read about her history. When I read what her nuns said about her, about what she was really like- that she was a tyrant who, in a nutshell, abused patients and themselves, I felt betrayed, and I was so angry. This woman sat there and kept medicine and necessities from desperate people because she claimed that pain and suffering made people closer to Jesus by sharing his own suffering, and yet, when she got sick, she got herself top-notch medical care. Guess she didn't want to share in Jesus' suffering. She was such a hypocrite. I'm still angry about it.

This is a very interesting story. I was a teacher. One of my students was adopted and indicated she had been in a orphanage which was run by Sister Theresa. My student indicated she was not treated well, and did not speak highly of her.

Its easier to fool someone than to convince them that they have been fooled.

Teresa : Are you hungry, I can help you. Jagdish : Yes, I am hungry please help me. Teresa : I will help you, Joseph. Jagdish : My name is not Joseph. Teresa : You need my help right, Joseph.

I personally knew nuns who where in the same religious order as Mother Teresa and served with her. Every one of those nuns told me that she was a mean person. None of them wanted to serve with her. Your vlog is absolutely true!

Giving wrong treatment is more dangerous than no treatment

Never put people on pedestal. Never idolize people. Each of us humans will always have our good and bad sides. It's just a matter which side weighs heavier...

As a kid in the 80s our media hailed her as a hero and if you said anything bad about her you would be corrected and dismissed instantly.

There’s a study by a university in Quebec about all this. It’s not in English, but you can read reviews of it. Unfortunately those authors concluded something along the lines of “well, people like heroes even if they’re a myth.”

As the commentator nicely summed up " Mother Teresa was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of the poverty..."

Just like Napoleon said: "History is a bunch if lies agreed upon"

I saw a public service announcement on TV back in the 1990's. In a voice-over, Mother Teresa described how she found a man dying on the streets, and her order gave the man a bed to die in. She said something like, "He died with the most beatific smile on his face." At the time, I felt something was profoundly wrong with Mother Teresa. She ignored the man until he was ready to die, then she put him in a controlled environment where she could control his suffering and death...all for the glory of Jesus Christ. That's messed up.

I remember reading an article that stated how she wouldn't help people who wouldn't convert to Christianity and how she refused to use the money given to her charity to actually be spent on the poor and instead made them suffer in poverty.

As a Russian we always call someone “mother Teresa” when we are being sarcastic. Never knew we were so close to the truth .

I heard of her In jR high school and wondered where all the money went . When we saw a film, I asked Why those people still looked hungry and sick- very sad situation! She wasn’t impressive!

I was convinced that "Mother" Teresa could not be evil when i was a child, but now when I am older, I think that religion should never be an excuse for torture.
