Subject: RE: BS: The Pope in America
Maybe the "demonisers" could never be as bad as their detractors make them out to be. On the whole, though, the "demonisers" tend not to be Catholics, so maybe they can be as bad.

I'm not going to, but I could throw a dozen real Mother Teresa quotes at you to show what a horrid person she was. You can watch the footage of her institutions which shows that they were every bit as dreadful as the "detractors and demonisers" claim. Not because I'm a detractor or a demoniser, but because I for one have sought to get round the Catholic spin machine (so effective that she could easily become the fastest-tracked saint in history) and get at the truth about her. It isn't difficult, unfortunately for her legacy. I don't have a problem with the poor deluded souls that want her for their saint, but I do have an issue with a massive political institution like the Catholic Church that can spin like crazy to persuade the world that we have an accommodating and progressive Pope whilst simultaneously and furiously indulging in brainless sycophancy with regard to this deeply wicked woman. There are words for it.
