1. I think it is th econclusion of the writer of the article. Mother Teresa did not say it to your ear.Okay let me re iterate some of the critical points
1. She actually liked poverty and suffering and so did little alleviate it
2. She was against birth control, which exacerbated the problems from Bangladeshi refugees. This made Calcutta's population problem worse
3. She encouraged the raped women during 1971 genocide of bangladeshis not to abort the babies
4. We have a 'soft spot' because Church ran a big PR campaign, and obviously we all know how political the Nobel Peace prize is
2. She was faithful to the tenets of her religion; she was against abortion which she considered a crime...killing an unborn baby. You and some others deducted she was against birth control. Two things are different.
3. Reason already explained.
4. We have seen her working for the poor in Kolkata; we dont need certification from the Nobel Committee or the Church to evaluate her. Her organisation itself sufficient to testify that.
If you have doubt, bring a sick or diabled person with you, leave him in front of her organisation and watch from a distance. If you do it everyday, they will take care of him/her everyday. It is easier to sit in an A.C room to find loophole in other's philosophy , but when you will be asked whether you have taken any initiative for those who are suffering, you will have no answer.
