Thats right!

Even Jesus Christ had enemies. Fault finders are everywhere and it is impossible to please everyone. Pleasing God should be our only goal and I am sure He is well pleased with her works.

Given the state of today's Catholic Church, I don't blame her one bit for not converting people, which was not her mission. She is a true saint IMO.

Gotta say I am a tad surprised by this thread. She, in her love for Christ, reached out and gave love and dignity, water, food and clothing to the poor, suffering and dying and she did this most of her life. She did as Christ asks in Matthew 25:31-40. She made her love of Christ known through her actions and, as a result, many women and men were converted to christianity.

Now where did I put that beam again...oh, my eye.

Ask yourself how many people converted to Catholicism because of Mother Teresa's witness, faith and actions. The world may never know, but I bet it's more than a few.

Mother Teresa didn't even convert people on their deathbeds.

She once said: "I love all religions." So, does that mean she loves the religions of Satan, idolatry, and religions that reject Christ?

Mother Teresa worshiped and knelt before a statue of Buddha. She encouraged others to pray to their own "god". Her nuns even participated in pagan rites of non-Christian religions.

Mother Teresa once said that "these non-Catholics are going to Heaven even if they reject Christ, as long as they are good people." So man and his choice of religion are more important than Jesus Christ.

1 John 5:11-12: "And this is the testimony, that God has given us to eternal life. And this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son, hath life. He that hath not the Son, hath not life."

intellectual product of Bro. Michael Dimond, Bro. Peter Dimond

Wasn't her job to convert anyone in the first place.

A foolish reason to avoid Christianity. Folks are weak, Christianity is sound. There are plenty of good Christians out there like Mother Teresa who work hard in service of their fellow man. These people usually work with complete anonymity with no worldly reward. They go by the grace of God.

Given the un-saintly character of those in the hierarchy making the decisions on sainthood . . . I believe Mother Theresa would be pleased not to have their worthless endorsement.

Mother Teresa adored JPII and, if I recall correctly, it was under JPII that she was beatified and give the title blessed.
