Yes, Steve, there is virtue and dignity to be found in poverty. A poor person should not look upon her/himself as somehow less worthy than a person with money.

"I think it is very beautiful for the poor to accept their lot, to share it with the passion of Christ. I think the world is being much helped by the suffering of the poor people."

And yes, Steve, Mother Teresa opposed abortion. I haven't found any quotations from her where she attacked women who had abortion.

"But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child - a direct killing of the innocent child - murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? ... By abortion, the mother does not learn to love, but kills even her own child to solve her problems."

You're not really digging, are you, Joe?
