[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mother Teresa is the perfect example of missionaries who do significant harm against the people they claim to want to help.[/quote] what did mother Teresa do[/quote]

Wow. Do you live under a rock?[/quote]

NP and I also don’t know. [/quote]
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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

And the response is that she cared for people with curable diseases who had no business being in a hospice[/quote]

Hitchens didn’t document any of these claims in his book, as one of the links above points out. Also there were actual free clinics people could have gone to instead. She didn’t have a lot of money to run a real medical clinic, either. [/quote]
