After lifetime with the poor, Mother Teresa speeds to sainthood

[VivasvatManu]

The resting place seems vulnerable. How prone is it to 'accidents'? I mean, what if the roof collapses on it and acid rain dissolves the remains?

Its one of THE holiest places in goa.

They hold a Feast of St. Francis Xavier in Goa in his honour

One fraudulent organization beautifying another fraud. Not surprising.

Nothing like a "native" saint to inspire the folks. Only the Native happens to be white European christian

The White mans burden.

Take up the White Man’s burden—

Send forth the best ye breed—

Go send your sons to exile

To serve your captives' need

To wait in heavy harness

On fluttered folk and wild—

Your new-caught, sullen peoples,

Half devil and half child

Take up the White Man’s burden

In patience to abide

To veil the threat of terror

And check the show of pride;

By open speech and simple

An hundred times made plain

To seek another’s profit

And work another’s gain

Take up the White Man’s burden—

And reap his old reward:

The blame of those ye better

The hate of those ye guard—

The cry of hosts ye humour

(Ah slowly) to the light:

"Why brought ye us from bondage,

“Our loved Egyptian night?”

Take up the White Man’s burden-

Have done with childish days-

The lightly proffered laurel,

The easy, ungrudged praise.

Comes now, to search your manhood

Through all the thankless years,

Cold-edged with dear-bought wisdom,

The judgment of your peers!

She was probably an inspiration for Sonia Gandhi as well ...

I think she was more inspired by the italian Mafia

how was she a fraud ?
thanx in advance .

She took money from the Duvalier family and Charles Keating(both of whom actually stole their money from other poor people) in the name of helping the poor and set up brother houses and nunneries. She and her organization still refuse to disclose their finances and there are pretty good reasons to suspect that they have huge sums deposited in the Vatican Bank....over the years they have accumulated enough money to build world class hospitals...but all they provide are hospices....and even there they actively try to baptize dying people rather then providing them with proper health care...she swindled people out of money in the name of charity and spent them on missionary work...it can also be argued that she had some form of psychosis( based on her statements about finding Christ in the suffering of people...and somehow the world was being 'helped' by the suffering of poor people...only godford almighty knows what she meant)....Anup Chatarjee,Tariq Ali,Christopher Hitchens(peace be on him) all did extensive study on her and came to very similar conclusions....University of Ottawa also did a study on here and concluded the entire thing surrounding her was media campaign by the Catholic Church(recently exposed as one of the most notorious criminal organizations in the world protecting pedophile rapists).

It usually has no effect on those who are already comfortable within their boundaries.
Also most Catholics will be biased towards her for understandable reasons.

The Catholics consider an arab their prophet, so a European 'saint' is not such a big stretch.

The problem is the Hindus cheering on the White Mans burden.

Correction: A Jew.

Both Arabs and Jews are Semites, but still different; like Persians, Indians , and Germans are all Aryans ,yet still different.

Christianity in its essence is a middle eastern religion...but unlike the other two middle eastern religions where the case was "those who made it spread it" Christianity was adopted by Europeans and then spread around the world.

An Average Hindu will bow to just about anyone and everyone, without thinking about its worth. For an average Hindu, faith is what matters, path doesn't. All roads lead to god, if you have faith. Hence, we have numerous godmen, most of whom are land mafia, frauds and people with questionable character.

There is so much hate in this thread for Mother Teresa. And I once donated all my pocket money to the missionary.

Persian and Indians have a more distinct ethnic stock, Jews and Arabs have far few.

The more recent diversification in ethnicity is due to the jew intermingle in Europe and Russia and in North east India. You take that away and they are Arabs.

Yes, that makes it easier for them to worship a European saint. The ground work is already there. (not to mention the economic and cultural and scientific dominance)

For all practical matters the church is just an extension of the Roman Empire.

Even I did (not whole of my pocket money).I did not knew anything about missionaries or conversion as my parents are from village and my initial education took place in my ancestral village, and I thought that door to door donation drive was to help poors.

People wisen up with age.

That is one of the best description of the church I've ever read.

We were onced asked by school to attend MoC session in our school. After the session (which we all spent half-awake, we were like 10 year old back then), we were given 2 handbooks (liiustrated picture books with very good quality print and paper) on life and stories of jesus.

I don't understand what charity they performed, or rather tried to perform over young, unmoulded minds of 10 year olds.
