The point is, it wasn't her money to control and disburse, The Vatican does and we do not know how much or where monies went. We do know that for hundreds of years, missions, hospitals, orphanages and the gospel has been supported richly by the Catholic Church.
If we were to examine your love towards others next to Mother Teresa's ... who do you think would get more rewards in heaven?
In fact if anyone has true regards God ! One does not Idolise and one ! but give the glory to God ! as it's Him who does the real work in fact.

All of the True Saints only gave all the thanks to God, never in regards themselves !

The Media loves so as to creat Idols for all of the Idiots to look up to !
The MSM idolised Mother Teresa, so I think something is up ?

I look up to people who can bring people to Christ Jesus through the Holy Spirit ! that is the main aim ! for then comes the Glory of God in fact !
It is not of works ? especially ones that any simplton dipstick idolises, holding them up above for carnal reasons. I am all for reconition of what one acheived but not kick into Idolity that carnal people can do ! for they will have a Box of people that are Idolised above all ? I have a Mate who is like that ! claims to be a Christian but is clearly not born again. because he is truly on the same page as any atheist dupe.

What makes me know she was possessed?
Her undergoing multiple exorcisms.

When asked if she lived during the time when the church committed to the Inquisition,murdering Christians,Pagans,etc.... would she agree with the church burning people alive,torturing them near to death?


Her answer?
Yes.

Look on YouTube. Plenty of records there.
Mother Teresa exorcisms
I looked.
Some of what she said mirrors some stuff the CC believes but is taken out of context by those that don't know the theology.

Chris Hitch was on there a lot and I don't care for his ideology. But forget about that.

Some of it reflects the extreme poverty she was working with.
Hot water?
Darn. I used to come to Italy in the 60's and some families in my hometown didn't have hot water!

As to the money thing...yeah. If she gave it to the Vatican...that was a mistake. I think they have enough.
It might have had something to do as a condition of the Vatican allowing the creation of her own order.

I don't know enough so I'll end it here.
I did learn some things.

Trump signs Executive Order banning trans surgery for minors in the United States​


Executive Orders are Not Laws.

Such Order CAN be a consideration for Congress to Establish a Law regarding that topic.

Executive Orders ARE Orders to and For the Executive Branch of Government…Limiting THEM or ALLOWING THEM (for what such Executives Serving the President…)
Can AND can NOT appropriate FEDERAL FUNDING (in ANY capacity) to and for a particular Project.

It’s the Trickle Effect…
Hospitals, Schools, Prisons, Clinics, Scientists, Labs….blah, blah, blah…have for EONS been Recipients of BILLIONS of Federal Dollars…for their ridiculous and asinine program whims.

Glory to God,
Taken

This is all true Taken...but Trump needs speed this time around.
He's not being tricked like last time with the bad advice he got from the Swamp creatures...
The ATMOSPHERE has already changed.
Operations on minors have already stopped.
A lot of change has been caused just by the trickle down theory, as you said.
A lot starts at the top...OR...is supported at the top.

Also, by the time the next Admin comes in....people probably will not WANT the EO to be rescinded.
Also, maybe we'll get 8 more years under Vance.

OK. This is true.
But BILLIONS have disappeared and no one knows where the money went.

If I do 3 things right...
am I allowed to do 1 criminal thing?

Just wondering....

Don't protect the CC Ronald...it's a mess.
Billions?... not too bad, a few bucks per Catholic. Put that up against the USA > our country has indebted us $36 trillion. Wreckless spending with a good portion of that wasted, stolen, misdirected, a gross negligence of mismanagement, scams, politicians pockets lined in foreign bank accounts and of course the Central Banks are richer ...
In the hear 2000 we were $5 billion in debt and the budget was balanced - imagine that. The Vatican would have managed our money better!

Oh, figures, that's where you are getting your information ... stories at best of half-truths; but geared to sell advertisements; so they must be sensational, outlandish, and absurd to catch one's attention. They should rename the website, "Believe It or Not"! Some stories are so twisted or completely fabricated, slanteld in accordance to the writers agenda, or political persuasion. If he is anti-Catholic for instance, well that's his mission - to bash the enemy.
There may have a few true stories, but you have to be wise and weed through them. I have been fooled a couple times myself and had to fact check them. It is no different than the Main Stream media these days.
There is a wise old adage: "Believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see!" Edgar Allan Poe
There is much deception going around.

Possibly. However,you won't succeed in an effort to distract me from the truth of Teresa's darkness.

She thought suffering brought one closer to God. The poor in her care found out how sick she was in putting that into practice on them.

Catholics buy into the myth.

While her own words,letters,published posthumously show she was a deeply disturbed woman.

And no Saint.

I think you forget that we are all saints. Catholics and Protestants are the salt of the earth... some with a little pepper instead?

This is great news. My #1 complaint against liberals is that they mutilate children's bodies in the name of "sex change."
The days will come that such people who have been exploited in that manner will have to sue the Nation for all of the malice harm that was done in fact !

All happy Tax payers will have to foot the bill once again in fact !

Not that the Tax payers could give a rats how their money is spent in fact ! seriously, they just do not care less ! Like where did you all see anyone protesting on how their Tax is being spent ? of just toss it all on the never never so as to be payed by who at what % intrestso that you all become inslaved under huge debt, to only become a 3rd world Nation down the track !

The people who are paying Tax, how are they truly treated in fact ?

We is all in big trouble in regards such stupid debt ! what if the day comes and they who lent the mony want it all back in how many days ? Just like Germany did get Stung ! and that lead to Hitler who saved them from such a death spiral ! but Games were under foot ? And that is what should be exposed so deceptions do not take hold. The Media and Governments need to be free from control of such Players of games against a People best intrest ?
But what have we seen in the years gone by ? the most stupid pathetic Governments in our History !
Who questions such as Child mutalation ?
No one openly could do so in fact ! for one would come under fire from Nazi like morons in Governments and MSM in fact !
Your rights regarding your Children were undermined just as if Nazi or Communist were in power in fact !
Only the masses were, or are just far to stupid to see it ! Morons !

It was part of the overall depopulation agenda. Knock off 15% for abortions, promote LGBTQ and increase those numbers, vaccines that kill elderly and sterilize youths, pestilence, even wars ... still it is not enough for these elites who would prefer a 90% decrease in population. They don't really care about these people, it's just a cold extermination of procreation, a numbers game. In the last 70 years, the world has tripled it's population. So when they look to the future, they realize the world could not sustain 25 billion in 70 years from now; so they began long ago to try to slow this population growth down. I would imagine in the Utopian New World Order their likely would be a restriction to one child per family Or procreation may only be granted to privileged elites?
Living close by in SC., I did visit the site of the "Georgia Guidestones".
According to the so called "10 commandments" engraved on the Georgia Guidestones, that existed in Elberton, Georgia, they did read as the following:
1. Maintain humanity under 500, 000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
2. Guide reproduction wisely – improving fitness and diversity.
3. Unite humanity with a living new language.
4. Rule passion – faith – tradition – and all things with tempered reason.
5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
8. Balance personal rights with social duties.
9. Prize truth – beauty – love – seeking harmony with the infinite.
10. Be not a cancer on the Earth – Leave room for nature – Leave room for nature.

There are so many aspects of a Utopian model, some inherently evil, yet some that appear good and reasonable ... enough to get the world on board. This was planted there for a reason, a seed if you will, to grow. A One World Government, globalism ... control over the masses

Maybe you're right Ronald. Maybe the Vatican would be better at managing US debt/economy.

The point is that the Vatican should be held to a HIGHER standard..don't you think?
DO NOT STEAL.....

Yes. Well, you are closer to Rome and I'm sure more privy to what's going on over their. My dream was to someday visit Italy. My descendants are from Calabria. My father always raved about Italian this and Italian that, yet he never visited. His parents loved there though. My daughter visited recently, she loved Rome and surrounding towns. Most Italians are Catholics right? How would you characterize the general disposition of Italians? Happy? Do you see fruit: love, kindness, joy, peace, patience, self control, goodness, gentleness, faith? Mezza mezza? Fair to good spiritual heath? Americans seem to be 50/50.

I'm privy but not because I'm close to Rome. I happen to have priests as friends...4 that I could think of off-hand.
We got a new priest at the parish here this year because one of those friends of mine retired. I don't know him very well yet...he's a young guy, about 35 or so.
I just want to make clear that I don't define as Catholic because I can't accept some of their doctrine.
The 2 priests that know this don't care....I think they care more about the life one lives.

My dream was to someday visit Italy. My descendants are from Calabria.
Calabria is beautiful and has beautiful beaches and sparkling blue water.
You SHOULD make a trip someday...it's just not easy to do due to the distance.

My father always raved about Italian this and Italian that, yet he never visited. His parents loved there though. My daughter visited recently, she loved Rome and surrounding towns. Most Italians are Catholics right? How would you characterize the general disposition of Italians? Happy?

It seems the grass is always greener on the other side. I grew up in NYC, in a very nice area of Queens, but I was born here.
Italians are going through tough times right now due to the policies of the Europ Union. I don't think they're too happy right now.
They also tend to be atheists. I teach Catechism in the CC...5th grade and up to the 7th grade (second year of middle school). By the time they're in the 7th grade,,,,more than half have become atheist. It's a real problem here. I think everywhere.
I think it's worse than mezzo e mezzo...
I wish something would change....we discuss this a lot but no one knows the solution.
There are no Protestant denominations near me and, anyway, I'm becoming disillusioned with the many denominations of Protestantism.
It's a mess wherever you turn.
So turn to God and be faithful to HIM!
