Mother Teresa fraud! Is the saintly woman a fraud or a misunderstood caring Catholic?
After composing a written article on Mother Teresa I embarked on a video project. This is essentially a video of the article that can be located HERE
Let me know what you think in the comments section below.

The video evaluates Mother Teresa’s status as Saint and discusses whether she deserves this accolade.
The late author Christopher Hitchens suggests she was merely a recruitment tool for the Catholic Church and not a helper of the poor.
Nor did she provide adequate medical assistance to the needy and infirm, instead funnelling donations back into the Catholic Church or opening more missions around the world.
“In 2013, in a comprehensive review covering 96% of the literature on Mother Teresa, a group of Université de Montréal academics reinforced the foregoing criticism, detailing, among other issues, the missionary’s practice of “caring for the sick by glorifying their suffering instead of relieving it, … her questionable political contacts, her suspicious management of the enormous sums of money she received, and her overly dogmatic views regarding, in particular, abortion, contraception, and divorce”. Questioning the Vatican’s motivations for ignoring the mass of criticism, the study concluded that Mother Teresa’s “hallowed image – which does not stand up to analysis of the facts – was constructed, and that her beatification was orchestrated by an effective media relations campaign” engineered by the Catholic convert and anti-abortion BBC journalist Malcolm Muggeridge.”

This video seeks to assess the truth: Mother Teresa Fraud or righteous saint?
