Criticism of Mother Teresa: Saint or Evil?

Wow. I always knew she wasn't godly as she was proclaimed but after reading that article she seems pure evil.

I agree that the article helps us to understand things cleared, but it does not mean that Teresa (or someone else) is evil. 

First of all, Christians, whatever denomination they're visiting, need to be more polite trying to forgive those who trespass against us. If one prays for mercy, why wouldn't we take it into account? We're not counters like the Pharisees, we don't need to think when someone is crying out for forgiveness. God is merciful and each time we're asking Him He's listening to us, He never count our deeds. So, the same here, the person became good stopping do bad actions. 

And the second one, I don't think Christians need to judge someone's sins. We're not selling indulgences to know who's guilty and how much. 

We don't know the what the evil looks like, but these good actions will help us to be delivered from evil. 

Very Christian  !!!

I've talking with my mom about this recently. She was complaining that it was not easy to get rid of her pessimistic colleague who were talking sad stories practice all the time. Seemed the colleague just had those somatic problems.

And, what I'd noticed, my mom told the colleague used certain phrases that meaning could be taken differently. What do I mean? Some phrases are such that we can put some different senses to it; we can say "your hat is becoming" meaning two different senses. Almost the same was there, many colleague's phrases had this option.

I started to calm my mother, talking to her that it was good either to change meaning of the phrases, or stop put meaning into it.

I've noticed that our putting of meaning depends on our psychological abilities even more, that our consciousness. We're not always reacting right on some phrases, because some phrases have the "moral effect", and after hearing those phrases we start acting like Pavlov's dogs. Our putting of sense is an option of consciousness that equals to finding a purpose of our actions. But, we might try to avoid putting some meaning into a phrase, and yet instead we're able to start looking for some sense. Escaping to put some meaning while looking for a sense is the same process as logic works. As Frege's said "no appeal to intuition", he wanted to say that the less mathematicians and logicians use their intuition, but practicing to routine their work; the more effect they'll gain.

I don't agree with Frege that sense doesn't link with intuition. I think that we need to use abstract thinking, and it's not easy to divide an abstraction from intuition for a someone; we can fly out with our abstract thoughts, and we can being logically right just using intuition. 

I think that Christ truly said

"27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell". [Matthew 5:27-32 (NIV)
]

Surely it's true. I was wondering how was it possible to a someone to escape thinking of a woman? I do this sin many times during a day, because it's too hard to control your own thoughts while being surrounded by so many temptations... So, I decided to think myself as a big sinner. I think that I'm not alone in this, many men practice the same as biologists and psychologists say.

But I think that Christ didn't talk about this physiological side; I think he wanted to stop our own idolization of some stereotyped vision. I think He wanted to say that we used to put some meaning in some phrases (or in some behavior, in some non-verbal acts, etc), because we put it without right understanding it; we're like Pavlov's dogs whose having seen a bulb lighted run to it. Our putting of meaning is a process of our daily life. We can do bad habits, but we might try to control our bad habits. Controlling our habits and not following the first meaning that came into our mind - is the path of a good person who wants to be a Christ follower.
