We are talking about how to think gods, not how to tend the poor, etc? : Some years ago - ten - fifteen - maybe twenty - time is relative to a non-Dasein, there was a two-page spread in a British Sunday newspaper by a British Catholic Volunteer Nurse who had been on Mother Teresa's staff in India. This nurse exposed the woman in a dramatic article, and said that she obviously 'got off' on the dying of these poor souls, and that a funny expression came over her face and her lips became moist in a most weird [almost sexual] way in the presence of death. That apart, the reason she left was that MT in spite of the millions of pounds she received in donations, deliberately withheld the provision of pain-killing drugs from the dying in spite of the protestations of the assistants, saying that it was 'God's Will' , etc., and even on occasions withheld drugs from those whose lives could have been saved from their use. As far as I know, the allegations were never challenged either by MT or any other member of the church. Those interested enough could do a trawl of the internet to try to find the precise source and its textual content. I always viewed Mother Teresa as a particular odious little women - like some kind of harpie ghoulishly feasting on the dead and dying. Her efforts to help the poor of Calcutta would have been much better employed in attempting to persuade the Catholic Church, which (prior to the huge amounts it has had to pay out of its coffers in hush money and compensation for the pederasty and sexual molestation carried out on the younger faithful by its 'priests'') was one of the richest institutions in the world, to provide proper clinics and hospices for the sick and terminally ill. The amount of gold alone that could be produced if all the Cardinal's rings were donated would produce enough money to build a hospital and provide the required care. And now they are planning to make her a saint - let's hope the Devil's Advocate they appoint is a genuine one! Interested? I am not.
