Mother Teresa & Abortion

[Cleita]

14. There are nuns all over the world who try against great odds to do the good

Mother Teresa did. They aren't famous, like Mother Teresa, but they try to reach out to the least among us as Jesus Christ purportedly taught. But they also follow the church's teachings on what is frankly a misogynist doctrine against women. To sweep away all the sacrifice and accomplishments these women do for very little personal reward, because you don't like what they believe, is really mean spirited.

Those nuns who taught me would never have done that to a fellow worker among the poor, no matter how much they may have disagreed with their religion. On Saturday mornings we left the campus we lived in with the nuns and went to the poorest neighborhoods of the city to give away food and clothing to the very poor, especially to women with babies, stuff like diapers and Gerbers that they couldn't afford. Sure we probably should have distributed condoms as well, but it was against our religion so we didn't. So according to you, all the food, clothing and diapers count for nothing because we didn't distribute condoms as well.
