Saint ? on what grounds ?

It was in the year 1998, as far as I remember. I was in Kolkata, the city of joy. I was in 4th or 5th standard. My dad took me and my brother to a book stall. Obviously, there were plenty of books, totally disorganized. And being a kid, having no book in my mind or rather which genre of books to be chosen was never in my mind. And suddenly I saw a book with a familiar name “Mother Teresa”. I chose the book for two reasons; one is that it was about “The Mother Teresa” in inverted commas and the price of the book was just Rupees Five. I read this small book within 2 days. And just like any kid who had an admiration for his/her grandma, so did I for her compassion towards the poor. The humanitarian angle of her.

But as I grew up , I mean my mind grew up so much so that it looks for clarity and not the information what is available on the surface but rather the raw facts deep inside which are often hidden by deliberate attempts of media campaigns and in this case by the ailing Catholic church such that the truth is so much hidden that none even thinks there is a climax of violence in a movie that begins with a name ‘Mother’ and the central character is a Nun who is largely been considered as a Saint.

Now, it’s just Teresa, not Mother Teresa anymore! So, Teresa was glorified as a Saint in the year 2016. For what? Because there were so many who knew how pathetic was the conditions of the patients who were treated by or rather so-called treatment as part of a selfless care and compassion long term initiative. It was necessary for the highest delegates of the Catholics to ensure that there never occurs any kind of tendencies to glance over her problematic legacy, which even includes forced conversion, questionable relations with dictators, gross mismanagement, and most importantly, pretty bad medical care.

Teresa was the reason for 517 missions in 100 countries at the time of her death and as per the study found, hardly anyone who came seeking medical care found it there. Doctors witnessed unhygienic, and even unfit conditions, shortage of food, and no painkillers — not for lack of funding, but the bizarre concept she had and of course unacceptable by anyone with a normal thinking or human consciousness, she made them suffer, suffer to death for her route of reality was that the more you suffer, the more you are near to God. Just imagine that brain which holds the thought process that when someone is ill, you don’t show the maturity or you even purposefully neglect giving food and medicine even when you can afford it or have the required facility for so.

For me, Teresa was a psycho. And I just need the given below sentence made by her to conclude so.

“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.”

I once read it somewhere, “Teresa is not a friend of the poor but a friend of poverty.”

Teresa gathered billions of dollars from the rich for they foolishly believed that she would be able to help the poor and suffering in India. Many people would believe that India was and currently is eternally grateful to her. But what was the reality of her motive on the money? It surely wasn’t used to improve the conditions of the suffering. Teresa was somewhat morally corrupt — with a lot of evidence. Teresa’s money was mostly spent on funding Pedophilia and child rape, and not on the poor. She built a hundred facilities all over the world with her name and organization ‘Missionaries of Charity’ on each one. Most of them were nunneries and Papist-run children’s homes where millions of children were abused, beaten and sodomized on a daily basis. Many of these children were brainwashed and conditioned into cult-like-thinking, to make them act like her, thus sprang her “cult of suffering.” Ever wondered why the Catholic Church rushed to canonize Teresa after her death? Turns out she was a child trafficker, selling babies & funneling between $50–100 million/year to the Vatican. Teresa’s connections include Baby Doc Duvalier, the Haitian dictator, Saving’s and Loan criminal Charles Keating, and Robert Maxwell, the father of Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking partner, Ghislaine Maxwell. And here’s the kicker! Teresa opened the D.C. based Home for Infant Children with none other than Hillary Clinton. This orphanage of sorts was quietly closed in 2012.

A man is considered dangerous who kills you with a bullet and hardly few seconds of suffering.

And a nun is considered Saint who keeps you suffering until your last breath not allowing any food or medicine.
