Subject: RE: BS: The Pope in America
Teresa-believers should be careful what they wish for. The insistence on such high standards of evidence (which, I note, they never apply to anything in their own belief systems, oddly) for what she said and did merely serves to sting us to into finding even more murk. I came across this when following one of the references at the bottom of Monique's article. Mother Teresa appealed, successfully, for the reinstatement of one of her favourite priests, Donald McGuire, after he had been found to have been involved in child abuse. Her success enabled him to go on quite a little spree of further abuse. I'd say that, like many in the Catholic hierarchy of the time, steered of course by the ever so saintly John-Paul II, she was far more concerned for the reputation of the priesthood than she she was about the wellbeing of children. Once again, it's all out there. Don't take my word for it.
