Subject: RE: BS: The Pope in America
I invite you to look into it. It's all out there. One of the big problems with being an iconoclast is persuading the already-persuaded to do their own digging in an honest and dispassionate way. In the age of the internet, as long as you know how to discriminate, it's easier than ever. It's a very uncomfortable exercise and it's no wonder that many would rather not go there. But far better that you do it yourself then listen to me giving you a ton of links that you can then call biased or ideological. Here's your starting point. Mother Teresa attracted many millions of dollars in donations. I invite you to examine the extremely dubious sources of some of them. Over a million dollars, for example, came from a man who had come about the later-to-be-donated money by criminally-fraudulent means. Mother Teresa knew this but did not pay the money back. Look into her dealings with the Duvaliers, about whom I surely need to say no more. Here's the thing. She had millions with which she massively expanded her convents, yet het her homes for the dying were squalid slums. When she got sick later in life, she purchased the best health care for herself that money could buy. Please do your homework on this. Honestly, every word of it is true. I fully understand that loyal Catholics don't want to hear it. Too bad. But please don't argue back until you've checked it out.
