Mother Teresa & Abortion

[Cleita]

30. Outdated. I think that's the operative word.

She was just following the doctrine from the Vatican. It should not detract from the fact that she really tried to reach out to the poorest of the poor, those people who were dying in the streets of Calcutta, and alleviate their suffering. She really was a hospice worker taking on the dying so their final days weren't excruciatingly awful. However, when a person is bigger than life, the critics will find all their faults to magnify and excoriate them, while ignoring the good they tried to achieve. It happens all they time. Shit, look at what the freepers do to President Obama.

Just because abortion is again becoming an issue in an election, surprise, surprise, doesn't mean that we have to trash the dead because they had some opinion on it. The redemption through suffering crap is mainstream Catholic Church thinking. It's all about making sacrifices and offering up your suffering to God as a way to purchase some kind of ticket into Heaven.
