The Mother Teresa fraud
22 September 2003 by GlennHere’s a piece on the Vatican’s rush to make Mother Teresa a saint. The author tries to maintain her objectivity as a documentarian, but you get a pretty clear sense that the Church’s canonisation process is all about good public relations. She ought to mention, though, that Mother Teresa’s case is particularly fishy, especially regarding the “miracle” she performed by “curing” a woman with a tumor. The woman’s husband and doctors all say that she simply responded well to medical treatment — and the Missionaries of Charity stole her medical records. (see What’s Mother Teresa Got to Do with It? )
