[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]

I consider it murder for someone to deny medical care for curable conditions. Ushering people into the grave early when they are treatable is a grave sin. [/quote]
