Mother Teresa: Anything But A Saint Say Researchers
The myth of altruism and generosity surrounding Mother Teresa is dispelled in a paper by Serge Larivée and Genevieve Chenard of University of Montreal’s Department of Psychoeducation and Carole Sénéchal of the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Education.
“While looking for documentation on the phenomenon of altruism for a seminar on ethics, one of us stumbled upon the life and work of one of Catholic Church’s most celebrated woman and now part of our collective imagination—Mother Teresa—whose real name was Agnes Gonxha,” says Professor Larivée, who led the research. “The description was so ecstatic that it piqued our curiosity and pushed us to research further.”
As a result, the three researchers collected 502 documents on the life and work of Mother Teresa. After eliminating 195 duplicates, they consulted 287 documents to conduct their analysis, representing 96% of the literature on the founder of the Order of the Missionaries of Charity (OMC). Facts debunk the myth of Mother Teresa
In their article, Serge Larivée and his colleagues also cite a number of problems not take into account by the Vatican in Mother Teresa’s beatification process, such as “her rather dubious way of caring for the sick, her questionable political contacts, her suspicious management of the enormous sums of money she received, and her overly dogmatic views regarding, in particular, abortion, contraception, and divorce.”
The sick must suffer like Christ on the cross
At the time of her death, Mother Teresa had opened 517 missions welcoming the poor and sick in more than 100 countries. The missions have been described as “homes for the dying” by doctors visiting several of these establishments in Calcutta. Two-thirds of the people coming to these missions hoped to a find a doctor to treat them, while the other third lay dying without receiving appropriate care. The doctors observed a significant lack of hygiene, even unfit conditions, as well as a shortage of actual care, inadequate food, and no painkillers. The problem is not a lack of money—the Foundation created by Mother Teresa has raised hundreds of millions of dollars—but rather a particular conception of suffering and death: “There is something beautiful in seeing the poor accept their lot, to suffer it like Christ’s Passion. The world gains much from their suffering,” was her reply to criticism, cites the journalist Christopher Hitchens. Nevertheless, when Mother Teresa required palliative care, she received it in a modern American hospital.
Questionable politics and shadowy accounting
Mother Teresa was generous with her prayers but rather miserly with her foundation’s millions when it came to humanity’s suffering. During numerous floods in India or following the explosion of a pesticide plant in Bhopal, she offered numerous prayers and medallions of the Virgin Mary but no direct or monetary aid. On the other hand, she had no qualms about accepting the Legion of Honour and a grant from the Duvalier dictatorship in Haiti. Millions of dollars were transferred to the MCO’s various bank accounts, but most of the accounts were kept secret, Larivée says. “Given the parsimonious management of Mother Theresa’s works, one may ask where the millions of dollars for the poorest of the poor have gone?”
The grand media plan for holiness
Despite these disturbing facts, how did Mother Teresa succeed in building an image of holiness and infinite goodness? According to the three researchers, her meeting in London in 1968 with the BBC’s Malcom Muggeridge, an anti-abortion journalist who shared her right-wing Catholic values, was crucial. Muggeridge decided to promote Teresa, who consequently discovered the power of mass media. In 1969, he made a eulogistic film of the missionary, promoting her by attributing to her the “first photographic miracle,” when it should have been attributed to the new film stock being marketed by Kodak. Afterwards, Mother Teresa travelled throughout the world and received numerous awards, including the Nobel Peace Prize. In her acceptance speech, on the subject of Bosnian women who were raped by Serbs and now sought abortion, she said: “I feel the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a direct war, a direct killing—direct murder by the mother herself.”
Following her death, the Vatican decided to waive the usual five-year waiting period to open the beatification process. The miracle attributed to Mother Theresa was the healing of a woman, Monica Besra, who had been suffering from intense abdominal pain. The woman testified that she was cured after a medallion blessed by Mother Theresa was placed on her abdomen. Her doctors thought otherwise: the ovarian cyst and the tuberculosis from which she suffered were healed by the drugs they had given her. The Vatican, nevertheless, concluded that it was a miracle. Mother Teresa’s popularity was such that she had become untouchable for the population, which had already declared her a saint. “What could be better than beatification followed by canonization of this model to revitalize the Church and inspire the faithful especially at a time when churches are empty and the Roman authority is in decline?” Larivée and his colleagues ask.
Positive effect of the Mother Teresa myth
Despite Mother Teresa’s dubious way of caring for the sick by glorifying their suffering instead of relieving it, Serge Larivée and his colleagues point out the positive effect of the Mother Teresa myth: “If the extraordinary image of Mother Teresa conveyed in the collective imagination has encouraged humanitarian initiatives that are genuinely engaged with those crushed by poverty, we can only rejoice. It is likely that she has inspired many humanitarian workers whose actions have truly relieved the suffering of the destitute and addressed the causes of poverty and isolation without being extolled by the media. Nevertheless, the media coverage of Mother Theresa could have been a little more rigorous.”

Sounds like someone is a hater because Mother Theresa thought killing babies was an immoral act!!! She also believed that people should only have sex inside marraige and that this should only take place between a man and a woman. You sickos will stop at nothing to destroy anyone who exposes you for what you are!!!
4 of the 12 sons of Jacob were born of concubines. The Nun from Hell was a follower of Pharisee doctrine. Paul of Tarsus is a PHARISEE, Acts 23:6, all Pharisees are of the Devil and never of God.

lmao. You skipped over everything else and focused on her being anti abortion? The hell is the matter with you? In response to rape victims she decries abortion and somehow people are sickos for thinking she was terrible? Maybe not everyone has to live like your narrow minded self.
What is it with religion where people can’t keep it to themselves? Why does everyone have to believe what you do? What a joke.
Why do you think it is good to murder someone because they were conceived by rape? The sins of abortion and homosexuality are bringing this country down. The twin evils of infanticide and homosexuality were present before the fall of every major civilization. We are no longer a people of God. He is going to punish us severely, then you will be singing a different tune.
To.Arthur researchers trust more men talking facts rather than the life they were given hence there always right even though they cannot admit to there wrongs even in solitary confinement. To Pateriot. u are exactly right mother teresa actually tried with her own personal will to try to stop abortions and poverty. a good example how god works in mysterious ways peace predictability.
I believe in the right to life too Pateriot but sometimes evil hides like a wolf in good’s sheepskin. The Bible tells us that the devil would talk a whole lot of good just to sew in that one speck of untruth.
To appeal to us in one way pretend to be with us in another…I have found out far more lately than I ever wanted to know. Enough to tell me that now is the Time spoken of to look good and hard at Church leaders…more so for the Romans…it is more than just conjecture that the End Times Peter the Roman is very real…and the next man to say I am christ will not be. Matthew 24, 23.
You should read the Jesuit Oath
http://www.ianpaisley.org/article.asp?ArtKey=jesuit
In the light of the serious crimes committed by priests and nuns from within the RCC, there is not much from the RCC that can be trusted now, so this news does not surprise me in the least.
It is the God given choice of an individual to use contraception or have an abortion and not the demand of a person who is declared himself/herself holy by an organization that stands directly between man and his maker.
Especially if this organization has covered up all manner of heinous crimes against children and crimes in regard to money laundering.
Our relationship with our Creator has been blocked by these so-called men of God, who prey on the innocent and steal from the faithful.
If you cannot see the truth and you truly believe you need a middle man between you and your father/mother then I hope you will one day grow up and face the facts.
How did the great popes treat innocent men like Jan Hus and Balthazar Hubmaier?

Wolfs in disguise of sheeps.
The city of Vatican have so much blood on hers hands.
So what is the point of all of this exactly? I’m not even a Catholic, nor do I care for its teachings, but what kind of miserable person/people takes so much time to research some little old lady who allegedly helped the poor and sick while she was alive only to show that she wasn’t as saintly as she was depicted to be? I mean, what’s the point? I think this is all a bunch of crap – really, I do. These people need a freakin’ hobby or something, really.
Because she stole millions of dollars, caused people to suffer terribly while lying to the whole world about it, reaping in donations. Not offering medical attention. I have previously read a lengthy investigation into these issues. An ambulance was donated to one of her centres yet it was dispicably never used for any patients. It was parked out front unless the nuns needed a taxi. They would not accept anyone into their ‘medical centres’ who had a living relative or family member! Who doesn’t in India? They left desperate mothers with sick children screaming outside because they had relatives. She lied all the time to the Western media about the centres she ran. She was a lying theiving hypocrit. That’s why it matters. Then after all the BS she spouted out, rather than bearing the suffering she ran away to a private US health centre. She was a con woman. Nothing more. If that doesn’t concern you, you don’t have to read the story, but it is important to set the history books straight.
Well idiot Christopher Hutchins and others did look into the nun from Hell who was the traveling lap dog for the IG Farben cyanide gas salesman Pope John Paul II to RAISE MONEY for the Catholic church. She was a good sales pitch for giving money and much money raised but very little went to the poor in India.
Nuns from Hell, the Babylon whore’s agents decorated their home for dying with cards saying ‘You Are On Your Way Home’. Hallmark Company should come up with a line of cards for the dying on this “You Are Headed Home’ theme.
She stole millions, using the money people given for the dying to instead build nun facilities. Nuns are among the most evil people on earth, just as Pharisees who are men of Devil and sat in Moses’ seat (Matthew 23:2).
To me, the point of this article is to help us who are supposedly awake to realize that we truly do live in a matrix of lies. Everything we have been fed from the cradle to the grave is one big fat perpetuated lie to condition us and manipulate our very thoughts,
From the Holohoax to Sandy Hoax and all the gulf of tonkien and 9/11′s in-between. Our educational system has been infiltrated and our minds have been invaded by constant propaganda from the complicit media whores and hollywood scum.
I decided a long time ago to forget everything i’ve every been told about history and to question every accepted “fact” that i’ve been brainwashed to believe from my youth to this day. The rabbit hole has no bottom.
The rabbit hole has no bottom to those who reject truth. God created mankind, Adam and Eve disobeyed God but they did so without malice in that they did not possess the knowledge of good and evil until they ate of the fruit (Genesis 3:7). Since then it is a struggle against those who go with their evil desires and those who do not have evil desires. Evil desires are to steal, kidnap, kill and other evil deeds.
It is true God is real. Here is a prophecy Jesus told that is coming to pass:
Matthew 24:12 “Because iniquity (lawlessness) shall abound, the love of many will go cold.”
The world is getting darker, not brighter, with the spread of Gentile churches. About 1.2 billion members of the Catholic church alone. It is the people of the Gentile churches who are among the workers of iniquity.
Matthew 7:22-23 “Many shall say to me in that day, Lord, Lord we did many wonderful works in your name … And I shall profess to them I never knew you, depart from me workers of iniquity.”
Of course, these people who say Lord Lord are those of the Gentile churches. The earth is littered with Gentile churches from where comes the workers of iniquity and the world is quite dark and getting darker. Matthew 24:12 being fulfilled.
/watercooler-topics/2013/02/they-are-the-children-of-hell-2431744.html
Matthew 7:22-23 “Many shall say to me in that day, Lord, Lord we did many wonderful works in your name … And I shall profess to them I never knew you, depart from me workers of iniquity.”
The first person He will probably say to will be you.
Well said. Now we need everyone else on board.
Right on Inventus…That’s where I started too…Tired of others feeding me their truth…so I asked the one who knows and actually got an answer…like many are.
Sad thing is that there are also those who refuse to think that all they learned is a lie and start over…they can’t so it…they would rather lie believing the lies than accept they were fooled.
But…there is merit in the whole “fool me once shame on you…twice shame on me” notion. I would rather go back to age one in “what I know is fact” than go even one more year believing a lie.
Her own memoirs she describes herself as unnecessarily cruel to the people under her care. She was a fund raiser, none it went to help the sick in her care, but to fund the Vatican. Like they haven’t got enough wealth already to feed the world indefinitely. S’truth even if they opened the Vatican up as a museum, the money raised would do that. All they do is buy more golden baubles to play king of the dung heap.
You see Pix you do not know me…I m here to support this post…and you have no idea what else I believe.
As for this post….I just what folks to keep one thing in mind… Well…as my Mother used to say “Show me your friends I will show you who you are…She also said that the apple didn’t fall very fr from the tree” and I tend to believe both are true.
To those who live disingenuous lives have a hard time hiding it as it is…and as the bible has promised “all things hidden will be made known”. Who were those she counted her closest friends I will show you where like minds met.
I do not judge the roman church…this is not my place…I believe the Churches have fallen and will soon crumble…the world suffer far greater then it should have to because of their failure to face their mortality…their only salvation now lay in what they do next.
AS for the Roman Church? I think it far better She come forward to make Her Full confession before the Nations and go down, which She will in any event, in Christs Light a martyr rather than Die with Her secrets and take so many innocent sheep along with Her.
To the Churches…You have caused many tribulations to rain upon my people and you have been warned…those that would lead my people astray…it would be better had they never been born such is my anger and Justice.
“Show me your friends I will show you who you are…She also said that the apple didn’t fall very fr from the tree”
Both of those can be Completely WRONG.
she was a shill for the vatican and new world order.avant garde to open the path for the comoig conquerors.A trojan horse extraordinaire.worst than a jew.
everyone has to stand before the great judge on judgement day. we shouldn’t judge. all falsehood will be exposed. take care not to do evil.
grow up

ev1l b1tch whor3
More upchuck from a pagan who can’t stand to see people revere the life of a modern Catholic saint. Quit trying to smother what little goodness there is left in the world, will you?
smear campaign, plain and simple!
(Study conducted by (bla bla bla) Dept of “Psycho education” – what does that say?)
Obviously part of a Bigger Agenda to help destroy Christianity and eradicate concepts such as altruism & generosity from history.. (unwanted in NWO .And we all know who hates Christianity the most)
This is just a smear campaign .
Mother Teresa was a very humble figure who led a very humble life. That she cared about the poor and downtrodden was obvious in how she spent her entire life among them.
I remember talking to some Hindus from India one time when her name came up in conversation. I was surprised how they spoke of her as being a very holy person – and that was coming from non-Christians – so you are probably spot on in that this is a smear campaign.
Good deeds are good deeds, regardless of a person’s religious denomination.
Dear friends,I am an Indian and a Muslim and have faith in my religion, but my friends with folded palms I plead you not to insult or degrade Mother Theresa. I am very much of sure that you people have not even visited Kolkata in India where her charity mission head quarters situated neither in various other countries. Her services in India lauded by Indian government by honoring her with highest honor “Bharat Ratna” poor people, lepers, rape victims of war from Bangladesh and many more worship her like God, she doesn’t need sainthood she is already a saint for these people. Please have respect.
She was a staunch Catholic having very strong views about Catholicism it was her way. Regarding the funds she collected has she taken that with her to the grave? she spent for uplifting poorest of poor and sick people and still it is being spent.
Friends please respect her work donot look at her individual views about Catholicism it was her way .
Anonymous do not call her bad names which I am sure you always call your Mom. Maintain decorum of this site
Judge not lest be judged!
I think Mother Teresa is an amazing women!
By the way it is pretty low to say ill things about a deceased person, especially when they have dedicated their entire life to serve God and Jesus Christ.
This article is nothing but blasphemy of Gods dear devotee, it is a serious offence and it wont be taken lightly.
Light hearted persons like to always focus on the good in others and exaggerate it but envious persons who are like snakes like to criticize others and focus on other peoples negative attributes, they exaggerate even minor faults and dig themselves into their own snake pit!
God will not look down favourably on anyone who doesn’t respect Mother Teresa because Mother Teresa dedicated her entire life to God, selflessly, and she is very dear to God.
Those persons who criticize her over minor things bring upon themselves their own misfortune.
Do you mean that same Mother Teresa who said Vatican drug and pimp prostitution money was fine with her as long as it was used for her so called ‘good works’?
I wonder if the apostles sourced their money from organised crime too?

This story is very disturbing. Psychoeducation? Could that not be a clue to the validity of the story? Why bring down good and promote evil? “Anything for a story” might be best revisited, Alton. You become part of the evil that you promote. God help you.
She was a god damned catholic, recognized by the US as a hero. OF COURSE SHES A DEMON
For those who don’t know. The criticism of this woman didn’t start after her death, she was very much alive when some people pointed out her fakeness. Her logic, it’s beautiful for the poor to suffer like Christ but when her dried up hindend became sick she sought out medical treatments. If suffering was such an honor her refusing medical attention would’ve been appropriate but she didn’t. She received the best of care numerous times, and yes this didn’t go unnoticed. So what did that say about her? Her job was to quietly commit genocide against the indigenous of India and other countries in the name of her god and received accolades while doing it. People who claim to despise the hidden agenda (NWO, Illuminati, secret orders, etcetra) sure love this old gal who openly carried out their assumed agendas while the world applauded. Religion is devil work big time because common sense gets shut off in exchange for dogma.
It’s seriously screwed up to say, “There is something beautiful in seeing the poor accept their lot, to suffer it like Christ’s Passion,” and then use charity to enrich the Vatican, as though stealing from them made them martyrs.
I won’t apologize for social conservatism, although she was apparently using it as the sheep’s clothing.
if we are all figuring out that everything we have been told and taught is bs, then why would we think this is any different? if we have been told someone is the devil, he is probably a saint, and vice versa.
Christians are hilarious, they say homosexuality is ruining the earth while their “fathers” rape children and help paedophiles escape justice. There are only two passages that speak of homosexuality being prohibited, but there are many that state that eating shellfish is prohibited and that judgement of other humans is also prohibited. So even if you’re not gay you have been annoying your lord by eating shrimp and creating laws to judge and punish other humans for their supposed trespasses against your religion. If you’re so pious and believe the actual word of the bible, then do you believe that aliens came to our planet to cross breed with our women?
Genesis 6:1-22
“When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown. The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”
Or do you believe in a giant race of creatures living in subterranean bases under the earth’s crust?
Amos 2:9-10
“Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was as strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit above and his roots beneath. Also it was I who brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite”
or Deuteronomy 3:11
“For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the giants [rephaim]. Indeed his bedstead was an iron bedstead. (Is it not in Rabbah of the people of Ammon?) Nine cubits is its length and four cubits its width, according to the standard cubit.
And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.
Or do you believe that women and slaves are your property? that it is okay to own another human?
Timothy 2:11
“I permit no woman to teach or have authority over men; she is to keep silent.”
Deuteronomy 25:11-12
“When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her.”
Exodus 21:2-6
“If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve for only six years. Set him free in the seventh year, and he will owe you nothing for his freedom. If he was single when he became your slave and then married afterward, only he will go free in the seventh year. But if he was married before he became a slave, then his wife will be freed with him. If his master gave him a wife while he was a slave, and they had sons or daughters, then the man will be free in the seventh year, but his wife and children will still belong to his master. But the slave may plainly declare, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children. I would rather not go free.’ If he does this, his master must present him before God. Then his master must take him to the door and publicly pierce his ear with an awl. After that, the slave will belong to his master forever.”
you believe in a christian god? then how does it feel knowing that he wants you to eat your own children?
“If in spite of this you still do not listen to me but continue to be hostile toward me, 28 then in my anger I will be hostile toward you, and I myself will punish you for your sins seven times over. 29 You will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters” Leviticus 26:27-30
And behind the scenes your leaders are praying to saturn and jupiter and other so called pagan gods. In fact about 70% of the religious doctrine you people believe in is based on pagan tradition. The pope has symbols like the ankh and sickle on hos robes which are from egypt and pre-roman paganism. Thousands of pilgrims kiss the foot of saturn every year in st peter’s thinking it is peter himself, really they are unwittingly praying to satan. You even call your leaders father when it clearly says: “Do not call anyone on earth your father; for the One is your Father, He who is in heaven.” Hypocrisy is one thing, being ignorant of your own religion then abusing others because of your misguided views is evil, whatever religion you believe in.
To bad her efforts were under the guise of the Catholic Church, which in itself is possibly the worst cruelty inflected upon humanity.
Mother Teresa was correct to oppose abortion. But in every other way she was a wicked person. She begged constantly for funds from both local businesses and overseas and the huge donations all went straight to the Vatican’s various slush funds. None was spent on her “hospitals” whatsoever, only when visiting dignitaries came would any people be taken care of, this was all verified by an ex nun from her order who dealt with the order’s accounts and saw all the money going to the Varican. She taught local people to beg instead of work, which is how she lived all her life,beggaring the local community and constantly begging poor locals every day for food for the nuns regardless of the fact of the huge sums she had lying in the Varican bank. Totally wicked … and the people on here blindly supporting her need to open their eyes.
