Believe it or not, UN aid workers and foreign aid do bad things
There has been reports that refugee camp women have to trade sexual favors for them Health clinics that receive US aid are not allowed to even refer a patient to another place to get an abortion Most aid goes to pockets of corrupt politicians, very little actually benefits the people intendef |
| Missionaries are frequently the only ones providing womens health care and access to birth control for women in many parts of the world. |
| I stayed with a Catholic mission in an indigenous region of Panama in the mid-1990s. The Catholic priests and nuns provided birth control to women who wanted it and prepared a hot meal for the community every day, among other charitable deeds like providing medicine. On the other hand, there was an expectation that the community attend mass and participate in church life. |
NP and I also don’t know. |
Meanwhile missionaries also do good things, too. Those things are ignored here. Where is pp with the first hand eyewitnesses account of the evil she witnessed being perpetrated by missionaries? |

There appear to be rogue Catholic organizations operating programs under the radar and against church orthodoxy: https://lepantoin.org/catholic-medical-mission-board-promotes-distributes-condoms/ Again, organized religion is not organized religion. |
This isn’t loading well for me on my computer so I can’t be sure, but it was Christopher Hitchens who wrote a book (and this piece https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2003/10/the-fanatic-fraudulent-mother-teresa.html) about her. IIRC, the gist was that she kept people in a dire, poorly run clinic and never gave them the drugs that would have cured their conditions while she herself took off for modern medical care in the US. |
And the pushback is that she was running a hospice, not a medical clinic, on a shoestring. Hospices don’t give out drugs besides the palliative type. When my mom was in hospice she only got palliative care. |
And the response is that she cared for people with curable diseases who had no business being in a hospice |
