Mother Teresa. Do it anyway - Reflections - For the soul

Missionary position

Poverty, illness, disasters - Mother Teresa showed up at all more or less significant events. She whispered words of consolation, spoon-fed her, and called on her to pray. But there was no real help.

Teresa's Homes for the Dying, Mary Loudon

compared to Nazi concentration camps.

“Folding beds, mattresses on the floor or hammocks in which the sick lie mixed together,” Mary described the situation. — All of them have their heads shaved (for Indian women this is akin to shame), many are tied up. Suffering is “eased” with aspirin. Needles from syringes and droppers are washed in cold water and reused. Many could have been saved by sending them to the hospital or simply injecting them with antibiotics, but this was not done.

Saint Teresa and Princess DIANA agreed on divorce: when you really want it, you can

Mary’s words were confirmed by the same volunteers from the shelters of the Order of the Sisters of the Missionaries of Love. Medical professionals were not accepted into Mother Teresa's institutions. Those who visited there for inspection were horrified by the unsanitary conditions, but their indignant voice was drowned in a sea of laudatory speeches addressed to the “holy woman.”

“There is something beautiful in the way the poor accept their lot, the way they suffer like Jesus on the cross,” Teresa admonished, prohibiting pain relief.

The main task of the staff was to persuade the patients to accept the Catholic faith. The dying were baptized without asking: a wet rag on the forehead, prayer - that’s it, he’s a Catholic.

Exhorting the suffering, Teresa inspired them: “You suffer like Christ on the cross. Jesus must kiss you." One day someone objected to her: “So tell him to stop kissing me.” The kind grandmother left the remark unanswered

Biography of Mother Teresa

In December 1928, Teresa traveled to India and in January 1929 arrived at the branch of the Order of the Sisters of Loreto in the suburbs of Calcutta.

In May 1931, Sister Teresa was received into the order and began teaching at St. Mary's School for Girls.

On May 24, 1937, she took monastic vows, taking the name Mother Teresa.

In 1944 she became the director of the Bengal department of St. Mary's School.

In September 1946, while traveling by train from Calcutta to Darjeeling, Mother Teresa had a vision, after which she decided to create a religious community of Missionaries of Charity and devote herself to “serving the poorest of the poor.”

In August 1948, she was able to obtain permission to leave the Loreto monastery and realize her plans, provided that she continued to follow the vow of poverty, chastity and fasting.

After an accelerated nursing course in Patna, India, Mother Teresa returned to Calcutta and found temporary shelter in the Catholic convent of the Little Sisters of the Poor.

Mother Teresa carried out her missionary work in the slums of Calcutta: she washed the wounds of the sick, cared for the elderly, and fed the hungry. A few months later, some of her former students joined her.

In 1949, Sister Teresa received Indian citizenship.

In October 1950, official permission from the Vatican was received to create the Order of Sisters of Mercy. At that time there were 12 sisters in the order.

In 1952, Mother Teresa opened the first home for the dying, Nirmal Hriday (or Kalighat). In the mid-1950s, in an effort to help victims of leprosy, she organized a campaign called “Touch a Leper with Kindness” and used the funds raised to open India’s first leper colony in the suburb of Asansol, which was called Shanti Nagar (“City of Peace”). In 1955, she founded the first shelter for abandoned children, Shishu Bhavan (Children's Home), in Calcutta. During the same period, she opened a workshop for the unemployed and a nursing home.

By the early 1960s, Mother Teresa began sending her sisters to other parts of India.

In 1963, she founded the men's community of Brothers Missionaries of Charity.

In 1964, Mother Teresa was presented to Pope Paul VI. After this, the community received approval from the Apostolic See and permission to open missions of the Order of Sisters of Charity throughout the world. In February 1965, the first branch of the order outside India was opened in Venezuela. Soon, centers of the order appeared in Ceylon (1967), in Italy, Australia and Tanzania (1968), in England (1970), in Bangladesh (1972), in Cuba (1986).

In the 1980s and 1990s, Mother Teresa opened branches of the order in almost every country in the world, including the states of the former Soviet Union.

In 1985, she created the first church-based shelter for AIDS patients in New York.

In 1987, Pope John Paul II asked Mother Teresa to create one of the branches of the order in the Vatican. On June 17, in the presence of Mother Teresa, he personally laid the first stone in the foundation of the Sisters of Charity shelter for homeless women called “Dono di Maria” - “Gift of Mary”.

Mother Teresa was everywhere her help was needed. She visited Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, Ethiopia during a drought, Guatemala after an earthquake, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 1982, during the siege of Beirut, she convinced the Israelis and Palestinians to stop fighting in order to save 37 children trapped in a front-line hospital. In 1986, Mother Teresa visited the USSR for the first time after the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. In 1988, she helped victims of the earthquake in Spitak (Armenia).

Help is not for everyone

— On July 26, 1963, an earthquake occurred in Skopje. More than a thousand people died, three-quarters of the buildings were destroyed. Mother Teresa blessed the employees of the American military hospital who were leaving for the capital of Macedonia, but did not allocate a penny from her fund to her hometown. The Americans stayed in the destroyed Skopje for 15 days. Ten of them went into setting up and dismantling the hospital. Five are at a photo shoot. By the way, 500 Soviet military engineers then worked in Macedonia for six months.

“Mother Teresa assured that her organization feeds more than a thousand people in Calcutta every day. According to Arup Chatterjee

- a doctor who investigated the activities of Mother Teresa, there were only three soup kitchens, and they could feed a maximum of one hundred people. Moreover, gruel was given only to those who had food cards. It was impossible for non-Christians to receive them. The “saint” also lied about the number of schools for five thousand poor children - there was only one for a hundred children. And that volunteers pick up the weak on the streets and take them to shelters. In fact, no one was picked up, and the ambulances donated to the order were used to transport the nuns. They say that documents were also discovered about the sale of children from the orphanage, but the matter was quickly hushed up.

With Pope JOHN PAUL II
- In 1984, a vat of toxic substances with a volume of 60 thousand liters exploded at an American chemical plant located in the Indian city of Bhopal. 4 thousand people died immediately, 21 thousand died within a few days. Almost 600 thousand were injured - a disaster comparable to Chernobyl. Mother Teresa urgently came to the city and explained to the residents: this is God’s punishment, so they need to humble themselves and pray. She managed to stop the protests after a few years and paid the victims and relatives of the victims almost half a billion dollars. Not a single American employee was responsible for the accident - seven locals were imprisoned. And Mother Teresa’s foundation received a tidy sum into the account.

By the way, Mother Teresa’s visit to the Armenian Spitak after the 1988 earthquake was widely covered in the press. But there is no mention that the victims were helped financially.

And further. In 1993, an earthquake in the Indian province of Latur claimed the lives of 8 thousand people. Five million ended up on the street. Other organizations built houses for them, but Mother Teresa posed in front of them, not sending a penny to the victims.

What is the famous Mother Teresa famous for?

Mother Teresa, in the world Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, was born on August 27, 1910 in Macedonia. Her family was Albanian and very religious. Since childhood, the girl sang in the church choir, and at the age of 12 she decided to become a missionary. When she turned 18, Agnes went to Ireland and entered the Abbey of the Sisters of Loretto.

She took the name Sister Teresa in honor of the patroness of the poor, Teresa, a 16th-century hermit. Sister Teresa went to India and began teaching history and geography at a convent school in Calcutta, then became the director of this school. The legendary nun's disciples say that one day she heard a voice commanding her to leave her job and follow Christ into the slums to serve the poor. So she did - without doubt or hesitation, although this had never happened before in the history of Catholicism - nuns always lived only in monasteries. Teresa was allowed a special path by the Pope himself, to whom she addressed an unusual request in a letter.

Mother Teresa always said that when any person suffers, Jesus suffers in him. So she took off her monastic robes and put on an Indian sari with a blue border. Then such clothes will become the uniform of the sisters of the Order of Mercy. Mother Teresa learned Hindi and Bengali and received Indian citizenship. She thereby emphasized that she shared everything with the people of the country where she did good. She sincerely believed that she was a mother to all people in this world and the people of India in particular. That was the only way the poor, grateful for the mercy and care, called her.

In 1950, Mother Teresa created the Order of Charity in Calcutta. Under his auspices, over 50 schools were opened for children and the poor not only in India, but also in other countries. Mother Teresa also founded a leper colony, a shelter for the elderly, a hospital for the disabled, and many shelters for the homeless and people with physical disabilities.

She cared for sick and helpless people in 115 countries, and also helped Russians by sending sisters of her order to our country after the Chernobyl accident. Mother Teresa believed that the worst evil is indifference. She tried to help people as much as possible, because she believed that God does not need human suffering. Many countries presented this amazing woman with numerous awards, which she spent on charity. Moreover, the nun did not advertise these actions; she parted with the gifts secretly. For example, she sold a car presented by the Pope himself and used the proceeds to create another center for leprosy patients. The same fate befell the money received as the Nobel Peace Prize - Mother Teresa donated all 190 thousand dollars for the construction of a leper colony.

The daily routine in Teresa's institutions was very strict - the sisters got up at 5 in the morning, prayed, had a light breakfast and in pairs went to the slums, leper colonies, shelters and hospitals, tuberculosis clinics. Everyone worked for free, seven days a week, and went to bed at 10 pm, after evening prayer. There were no air conditioners or heating units, radio or television, vacuum cleaners or other technical devices that provided comfort: Mother Teresa spent every extra penny to help the poor.

One journalist who stayed with the sisters of the order for several days said: “I wouldn’t do all this for a million dollars!” Mother Teresa replied: “I wouldn’t do it for a million, only for free, out of love for Christ.” Many educated people who were previously atheists, after communicating with this unique woman, converted to faith and accepted Catholicism. Presidents and monarchs, the most influential people, sought to communicate with her. And she accepted donations from everyone - even from bloody dictators and dishonest financial tycoons, without fear of causing condemnation in society. She said: “This is from the bottom of my heart - for the work that I am doing, and not for me.”

In 1995, Mother Teresa was no longer able to serve as head of the order due to health reasons. She resigned from her post and died 2 years later of a heart attack in Calcutta at the age of eighty-seven. She always said: “Christ commanded to love your neighbor, and not the whole world.” And she bequeathed this to all people.

Big life

August 26, 1910, Skopje. into the wealthy Albanian Catholic family of Bojaxhiu
-
Agnes Godje
.
1919 The head of the family, Nikola Bojaxhiu
, a nationalist who advocated the cleansing of Skopje from the Slavs, that is, Serbs, Macedonians and Bulgarians, and the annexation of the city to Albania, was killed.
1928 Agnes graduated from a Serbian gymnasium and went to Ireland, where she entered the monastic order of the Sisters of Loreto. She will never speak her native language again; when visiting Yugoslavia, she will begin to communicate through an interpreter.
1931 The girl takes monastic vows and takes the name Teresa. She is sent to Calcutta to teach at St. Mary's Girls' School.
1946 Jesus Christ
allegedly appears to Teresa . He tells her to quit school, wear a sari and go help the poor. However, Mother Teresa was confused many times in her “testimonies”: she said, for example, that God regularly appeared to her from the age of five.
1948 The authorities of Calcutta give Teresa the former temple of the goddess Kali. From now on there will be a House for the Dying. The staff is recruited from the order founded by the nun, the Missionary Sisters of Love.
1969 The BBC is making a documentary about Mother Teresa. PR will do its job: churches of the order will be organized in 121 countries of the world, the number of nuns will increase to 5 thousand, volunteers - to 40 thousand. Teresa will be perceived as a saint.
1979 Mother Teresa is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize “for her work in helping suffering people.”
1997 On March 13, Mother Teresa resigned from her duties as head of the Order of Mercy. She died on September 5. Almost immediately, the Catholic Church began the process of beatification, followed by canonization. Although, according to the rules, this procedure can be started no earlier than five years from the date of death.
2016 In St. Peter's Square in Rome, in the presence of 120 thousand people, including 1.5 thousand Italian homeless people, Pope Francis canonized
Mother Teresa.

In her youth, the missionary was named Agnes GODGE (right).
Worldwide fame brought money. But the origin of the specie was of little interest to the benefactor.

$1.5 million was given to Teresa by Jean-Claude Duvalier
, the President of Haiti, the dictator.

“Nowhere have I seen such closeness between the poor and the head of state,” Mother Teresa said hypocritically, as if not noticing poverty and disease in one of the poorest countries in the world. Her arrival cost the authorities $1 million.

The order's account was replenished after Teresa's visit to Albania. She had a nice conversation with the leader of the country, communist Ramiz Alia
, and then laid a wreath on the grave of his predecessor
Enver Hoxha
, who closed all churches, executed or imprisoned clergy.
British media tycoon Robert Maxwell
stole $600 million from his employees' pension fund and sent part of it to Mother Teresa.
American businessman Charles Keating
, who also embezzled the money of fund investors, pinched off the “saint” $1.25 of his $252 million.
When he was imprisoned, Teresa asked for leniency. Prosecutor Paul Turley
suggested she return the stolen money to its owners. At this point the correspondence ended.
Having made friends with Indira Gandhi
, Teresa got her monastic order to be exempted from inspections. She advised journalists who asked awkward questions about spending money to talk to God. Shortly before her death, documents surfaced showing that about seven percent of donations went to charity. The rest, including Teresa's Nobel Prize, was sent to the Vatican Bank in Rome and spent on the needs of the Catholic Church.

Generally against it, but sometimes for it

Mother Teresa, as befits a Catholic, opposed abortion and divorce. But when it came to people with whom she was friends and from whom she could get a jackpot, her position changed. She supported Indira Gandhi in forcibly sterilizing the poor and called Princess Diana's

about divorce from
Charles
is the only right thing, since love has left the family.

Teresa also demanded that contraception be banned. I did not accept the argument that they protect not only from conception, but also from certain diseases.

“AIDS is a fair retribution for improper sexual behavior,” she argued.

I didn’t deny myself anything

Mother Teresa preferred to travel around the world on private jets or first class. Moreover, the airlines themselves often paid for her flight.

Teresa did not want to solve health problems in her centers, preferring clinics in the USA, Italy and India. She stated that she could not afford cataract surgery for $6.5 thousand at the St. Frances Clinic in Pittsburgh, and a year later she had the operation at the New York Medical Center - even more expensive. During heart surgery, Teresa never refused pain medication in order to suffer like Jesus. She spent the last months of her life in a room stuffed with modern equipment.

Miracles in a sieve

The Catholic Church can canonize a person if he has performed a miracle. At first, they tried to declare the disappearance of a malignant 17-centimeter tumor in the stomach of the Indian woman Monica Besra.

Allegedly, on the anniversary of Mother Teresa’s death, the woman’s sister applied a diseased medallion to her stomach, which was used to touch the body of the future saint on the day of the funeral.
She prayed, and soon the tumor resolved. But the husband of the healed woman admitted: his wife did not have cancer, but an ovarian cyst, and the doctors dealt with it. Teresa's declaration of sainthood was postponed. Until Reverend Brian Kolodiychuk
found a new miracle.
Brazilian resident Marcilio Haddata Andrino
suffered from brain cancer. His wife Fernanda prayed to Mother Teresa and everything passed. Doctors were not involved in this story, so it was impossible to confirm or deny it.

Divine Light

who was making a film about Teresa, said: they say, there was no electricity in the House for the Dying, but the filming was a success because divine light appeared.

Vatican murderer - Mother Teresa
Vladimir Tulin, June 22, 2020 The Vatican canonized another murderer - Mother Teresa Mother Teresa was an evil and cruel woman, through whose fault many thousands of people suffered martyrdom. In her “Houses for Dying” it was forbidden to give painkillers, and patients died from almost any disease... Mafiosi Brusco: If Mother Teresa is a saint, then I am Jesus Christ! Pope Francis canonized Mother Teresa in St. Peter's Square in Rome in front of 120 thousand people, official delegations from 15 countries, as well as in front of a specially invited 1,500 Italian homeless people. She has now become a saint of the Roman Catholic Church. In this regard, the Federal News Agency (FAN) reminds readers of the most scandalous facts from the biography of Agnes Godje Bojaxhiu. At her birth on August 26, 1910, Mother Teresa received the name Agnes Godje Bojaxhiu. This happened in Skopje, in a wealthy Catholic Albanian family. Her father Nikola Bojaxhiu, originally from Prizren, was an ardent Albanian nationalist, was a member of an underground organization whose goal was “cleansing Skopje from the Slavic occupiers (meaning Macedonians, Serbs and Bulgarians) and annexing it to Albania.” Hatred of the Slavs became the reason for Nikola's violent death in 1919 - he was killed during an attack on a Serbian village. His daughter inherited a dislike for the Slavs. Although she was fluent in the Serbian language and even graduated from a Serbian gymnasium, during her future official visits to Yugoslavia she always communicated only through an interpreter. Her attitude towards her hometown, now the capital of the Republic of Macedonia, is also very peculiar. When an earthquake there on July 26, 1963 killed 1,070 people and destroyed 75% of its buildings, Agnes Bojaxhiu refused to give Skopje financial aid from her monastic order, but publicly blessed the staff of the American military hospital. The hospital stayed in Skopje for 15 days. As the Macedonians say, the Americans spent 5 days setting up a hospital, 5 days doing a photo shoot against the backdrop of ruins, and 5 days dismantling their camp. And now in the Skopje museum, dedicated to the earthquake, there are dozens of photographs showing how Americans selflessly help the Macedonians. At the same time, the Soviet Union sent 500 engineering troops to Skopje, who worked there for six months. But only one photo survived - the Soviet soldiers had no time to take pictures; they were saving the lives of Macedonians who found themselves under the rubble. Later, mother Agnes Bojaxhiu visited Skopje four times and even became an honorary resident. She ceased to be an ordinary resident of it in 1928, when, after graduating from high school, she went to Ireland to join the monastic order “Sisters of Loreto”. There she learned English, became a nun under the name Teresa, and was sent to the Indian city of Calcutta to teach at St. Mary's Catholic School. Further, according to her recollections, in 1946 she had a vision of Jesus Christ, who ordered her to quit school, take off her monastic clothes, put on the local national dress of a sari and go help the poorest and most unfortunate. However, in her other memoirs, she claimed that God came to her regularly, starting from the age of five. Oddly enough, she managed to enlist the support of the authorities and her immediate Catholic superiors. For the institution, which Mother Teresa herself called the “House for the Dying,” the mayor’s office allocated to her in 1948 the former temple of the Indian goddess Kali. The staff included 12 nuns of the order “Missionary Sisters of Love” founded by Mother Teresa. In 1950, he was supported by the Bishop of Calcutta, Ferdinand Perrier, and later he began to operate throughout the globe with the blessing of Pope Paul VI. Her organization gained worldwide fame in 1969, when, on assignment from the BBC, journalist Malcolm Muggeridge filmed a documentary praising her, “Something Beautiful for God.” But this was not just laudatory material - the ecstatic journalist claimed that a miracle happened during the filming: there was no lighting in the House for the Dying, but the filming was a success, because “divine light appeared.” And although cameraman Ken McMillan later stated that he was simply using new film for night shooting for the first time, in those days there was no Internet and the operator could not shout down the powerful BBC corporation. However, people are always more interested in reading about miracles than about new properties of film. As a result of powerful PR, the number of nuns of the order approached 5,000, and more than 500 churches appeared in 121 countries of the world. Hospices, care centers for the seriously ill, and social homes began to open everywhere. Although Mother Teresa still called them “Homes for the Dying.” What they really are was told in the documentary “Angel from Hell” by Mary Loudon, who worked in one of them: “The first impression was as if I was seeing footage from a Nazi concentration camp, since all the patients also had their heads shaved. The only furniture is folding beds and primitive wooden beds. Two halls. In one, men slowly die, in the other, women. There is practically no treatment, only aspirin and other cheap drugs. There were not enough IVs, needles were used repeatedly. The nuns washed them in cold water. To my question: why don’t they disinfect them in boiling water?, I was told that this is not necessary and there is no time for it. I remember a 15-year-old boy who initially had the usual pain in his kidneys, but he got worse and worse because he did not receive antibiotics, and later he needed surgery. I said that in order to cure him, you just need to call a taxi, take him to the hospital and pay for an inexpensive operation. But they refused me this, explaining: “If we do this for him, then we will have to do it for everyone”... Mary Loudon’s words are confirmed by the results of numerous inspections of “Homes for the Dying.” It has been repeatedly noted that they practically do not enter into employment contracts with doctors, and all the main work is done by unpaid volunteers who believe in the myth about Mother Teresa’s institutions. Doctors noted poor hygiene, the transfer of diseases from one patient to another, food unfit for consumption, and a lack of basic painkillers. The new saint actually banned painkillers, saying: “There is something beautiful in the way the poor accept their lot, the way they suffer, like Jesus on the cross. The world gains a lot from suffering. Torment means Jesus kisses you.” As a result, painful shock became the cause of death for many. All of the above fit perfectly into her concept of “saving” the sick. If for normal people saving a sick person means his recovery, then for Mother Teresa this meant his conversion to Catholicism and thus salvation from the torments of hell in the afterlife. Therefore, the more the patient suffered, the easier it was to convince him that to get rid of suffering you need to become a Catholic, and Jesus Christ will help you. The rite of baptism in Homes for the Dying is as simple as everything else: the patient’s head is covered with a wet rag and the appropriate prayer is read. And then, if the patient survives after this, he will tell everyone that this happened thanks to the transition to Catholicism, and if he does not survive, he will not tell anything. When Mother Teresa herself needed medical help, she did not use the services of her medical institutions, but went for treatment to one of the most expensive clinics in the world in the American state of California. She didn’t want to kiss Jesus either - she was using painkillers in full. She just as easily changed her position on other issues if it was beneficial for her. So she was categorically against abortion. In her acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, she stated: “The greatest threat to peace today is abortion, because it is outright war, murder, the outright killing of a man by his own mother.” However, when her friend Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi began forcibly sterilizing the poor, Agnes Bojaxhiu fully supported the campaign. True, in 1993 she again changed her position and condemned a 14-year-old Irish girl who had an abortion after being raped. Traveling around the world, Agnes Bojaxhiu demanded bans and divorces everywhere, since every marriage is sanctified by God. However, when her other friend Princess Diana divorced Prince Charles, she announced that “this was the right decision, since love had left the family.” In addition, she demanded a complete ban on all types of contraceptives, and when reminded that they prevent the spread of AIDS, she stated that AIDS is “fair retribution for improper sexual behavior.” She also hated feminism and called on women to “leave men to do everything for which they are better suited.” The documentary “Something Beautiful for God” was not the only successful campaign to create the image of Agnes Bojaxhiu as a selfless savior of the downtrodden. When an earthquake struck the Indian province of Latur in 1993, killing 8,000 people and leaving 5 million homeless, Mother Teresa took the time to go there and pose for photographs in front of the new houses built by other charities. Her monastic order did not allocate any money to the victims and even refused to send its nuns there. When epidemics broke out in India, Mother Teresa did not help fight them, but she actively took pictures with the sick. And when she later arrived in Rome, the media reported to the whole world that she was placed under quarantine. It was another reminder of her supposed battle against illness. You can find detailed descriptions of her visit to the Armenian SSR after the earthquake in Spitak, but you cannot find information about how much money the foundation allocated and to whom. Despite the fact that Agnes Bojaxhiu everywhere called for a modest Christian lifestyle, she herself, during her numerous travels around the world, preferred to travel in personal airplanes and helicopters, and stay in the most fashionable residences. Thanks to massive propaganda, millions of people believed in the universal benefactor of the unfortunate and sent their donations to her order. In addition to the Nobel Prize, Mother Teresa and her order received dozens of awards from various organizations for huge sums. However, the Nobel laureate did not like to talk about how they were spent. When asked by journalists for an interview, she usually answered: “Better talk to God.” Thanks to her friendship with Indira Gandhi, her monastic order, registered in India, was freed from any financial control for many years under the pretext of being a major charitable organization. Moreover, when a ranking of financial assistance from organizations in Calcutta was compiled in 1998, the order “Sisters of the Missionaries of Love” was not even among the top 200. Mother Teresa herself, when presenting her with the Nobel Prize, lied that assistance was provided to 36,000 residents of Calcutta. An audit carried out by Indian journalists found that there were no more than 700 of them. The most powerful scandal related to the spending of donations received by Agnes Bojaxhiu occurred in 1991, when the German magazine Stern, based on documents, published information that only 7% of donations goes to treat the sick. Huge sums ended up in the accounts of the Vatican Bank in Rome. Despite the huge sums, no one modernized medical centers or purchased equipment. Instead, the funds were spent on opening new centers around the world, where, under the guise of saving the body, they save the soul by converting it to the Catholic faith. Officially, the entire Nobel Prize for the new saint went to the new centers. The origin of the donations did not bother Mother Teresa. She calmly accepted money stolen by dictators from her people. Moreover, both from pro-American anti-communist dictators, and from communist ones. In 1981, she visited Haiti, where Jean-Claude Duvalier ruled, having gained power 10 years earlier at the age of 19 after the death of his dictator father. It seemed that there was nothing good to be said about the situation in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and one of the poorest in the world, where corruption and disease are rampant, and where the Duvalier family has committed 60 thousand overt and covert political murders. However, Mother Teresa said that nowhere in the world had she seen such closeness between the poor and the leader of the state. As a result, she received $1.5 million from the Haitian dictator. She clearly liked the Republic of Haiti and its leader, and in 1983 she visited them again. This time, after saying that she was “conquered by Duvalier’s love for his people” and that “the people pay him in full in return,” she was awarded the country’s highest award, the Order of the Legion of Glory, and received another $1 million. Mutual love in Haiti ended after 3 years, when the people overthrew their beloved dictator, and he repaid his beloved people by stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from them, fleeing with them to his residence on the French Riviera. In 1989, she visited the homeland of her ancestors - Albania. She was there at the invitation of the new communist leader Ramiz Alia, who, following the example of Mikhail Gorbachev, decided to carry out democratic reforms in his socialist country. He took power four years earlier, after the death of Enver Hoxha, who had ruled Albania for 40 years. Among government leaders it is difficult to find a person who has great merit to the Catholic Church, as well as to all other churches. The first thing he did when he came to power after World War II was to shoot two Catholic bishops and 40 priests. In 1967, the leader of the Albanian communists announced that his country had become the world's first atheist state. In connection with this, all churches were closed, including 157 Catholic churches. The clergy are thrown into prison. For performing religious rituals the death penalty was imposed, and for individual practice of religion - sending to camps. Executions of clergy of all faiths continued throughout the entire period of his reign. So, in 1971, when the Catholic priest Steffen Kurti, who was released from prison, baptized a baby, he was shot, the parents were sent to camps, and the baby was sent to an orphanage. But all this did not stop Nun Teresa from laying a wreath on the grave of Enver Hoxha and saying many praiseworthy words about him. Later, Agnes Bojaxhiu visited Enver's widow, Nedjmie. About the new leader of Albania, she said that she was “happy for my people, who have such a leader.” The Albanian people did not appreciate their happiness and in 1992 removed Ramiz Alia from power, and a year later sent him to prison. In addition to Ramiz, Mother Teresa had mutually beneficial meetings with the communist leaders of Cuba and the GDR - Fidel Castro and Eric Honecker. She also received money from Yasser Arafat, whom she met in Lebanon. A major sponsor of the Order of the Sisters of the Missionaries of Love was the English lord of Jewish origin and media tycoon Robert Maxwell, who stole $600 million from the pension fund of his own employees and escaped prison punishment due to his death on a yacht. Another famous donor who benefited Mother Teresa with $1.25 million was the American Charles Keating. Later, when he was put on trial for defrauding 23,000 investors of his foundation out of $252 million, Mother Teresa sent a letter asking for clemency for the faithful and generous son of the Catholic Church. In a letter of response, prosecutor Paul Turley wrote that “the church should not allow itself to be used as a conscience-soothing tool for a criminal” and suggested that Agnes Bojaxhiu return the money received from Keating to those from whom it was stolen. The answer is silence. Interestingly, another recipient of assistance from Charles Keating was the American senator and great friend of the current Ukrainian government, John McCain. Perhaps all this helped the generous Catholic get off with only 4.5 years in prison for such a huge theft, and now he is back in big American business. The refusal to return the money stolen from the Americans did not spoil Mother Teresa’s relationship with the US authorities. Quite the opposite: along with the Vatican, which awarded her its highest award - the declaration of a saint, the United States became the second state to do this. In 1996, she became an honorary US citizen, a title only 3 foreigners had received before her, and in 1997 she was awarded the highest American award, the Congressional Gold Medal. Officially, such high awards are explained by her charitable activities, but her other services to the United States are certainly not forgotten. On December 3, 1984, the largest man-made disaster in human history occurred in the Indian city of Bhopal. As a result of the explosion of a 60 thousand liter container at a chemical plant owned by an American company, 42 tons of toxic fumes were released into the air. 4,000 people died immediately, another 21 thousand later. The total number of victims is up to 600 thousand people. The cause of the disaster was saving on security measures from the side of the chemical stubbornly repeated that it was a sabotage. In addition, the company refused to inform the name of the poisonous substance for considerations of commercial secrets, which made it difficult to work of Indian civil and military doctors. The neglect of the American business of the safety of the local population, which led to such terrifying consequences, could put under attack not only a chemical company, but also the US reputation in all third world countries. Measures were taken. This time the mother of Teresa did not remain indifferent to the tragedy of the Indian people. She arrived in Bhopal, accompanied by her many nuns and volunteers. Mother Teresa performed in crowded places and explained in her speeches that this is a punishment from God, that she had to pray, and he would punish the perpetrators, and now it should be forgiven. The last word was the main thing in all her speeches. The nuns and volunteers are also inspired by the same way to those to whom they provided their primitive medical care. This helped prevent anti -American speeches that would attract attention all over the world. The American, responsible for this tragedy, in 1987, in 1987, was able, as part of the extrajudicial settlement, to agree on the payment of $ 470 million in exchange for the abandonment of further court claims to the victims of the accident. The investigation of the tragedy lasted 26 years and only on June 7, 2010 the court in Bhopal sentenced seven Indians who worked at the chemical plant to two years in prison and a fine equal to $ 2100. Former plant director, American Warren Anderson, was justified. Made a major donation to the Order of the mother of Teresa. Of course for medical care, and not for propaganda. There is also information that, through the organization of the mother of Teresa, secret financial assistance to Nicaraguan contrast was provided. This is indirectly confirmed by her awarding US President Ronald Reagan Liberty Medal in 1985. Since the death of the founder of the Order of the Sisters of the Missionary of Love, until the moment she became the saint exactly 19 years, and this process was not easy. According to the rules of the Catholic Church, so that a person is canonized as a saint, he must perform a miracle. The search for miracles committed by Mother Teresa was entrusted to the Canadian priest Brian Kolodiychuk. At first, he announced that a resident of the Indian state Bengal Monica Besra had a 17-centimeter malignant tumor in the stomach. On September 5, 1998, her sister put a medallion with the face of the Holy Virgin, who touched her mother Teresa on the day of her funeral and turned to the World Righteous with a prayer for her recovery, on September 5, 1998. After 8 hours, the tumor allegedly disappeared. Everything was wonderful, in the literal and figurative sense of the word, but then Monica Besra quarreled with her husband, and he told reporters that his wife was not a tumor, but an ovary cyst that was cured with the help of drugs for which he paid a large sum From his pocket, and then took the journalists to the doctors who have preserved the relevant medical documents. Of course, after this scandal of the Vatican, Vera in the holiness of the nun, who brought him 3 billion dollars and millions of new followers in the most modest calculations, did not disappear. But to maintain decency, a long pause was made in canonization to calm and oblivion. In 2008, the Monk Kolodiychuk found a new miracle in Brazil, where Marsilio Haddat Andrino had a malignant brain tumor, but after his wife Fernanda began to pray to Mother Teresa, she disappeared. In this case, there were no medical documents, which guaranteed from repeating the case with Monika Besra. But then a new scandal struck. The property of publicity was her letters to her confessor to the Belgian priest-Jesuit Henry and her diaries. In them she writes: “I have no faith”, “the heavens are locked”, “they tell me that God loves me, but the dark, cold and empty reality is so strong that nothing touches my soul. Everything inside me is cold, like ice. ” But the next record was the most unexpected: “I feel lost. The Lord does not love me. God may not be God. Perhaps he is not ”, who is not at all suitable for the nun, who constantly claimed that he regularly communicates with Jesus Christ. Of course, this scandal did not affect the decision of the Holy See on the holiness of Agnes Boyajiu, but again I had to take a break. Thank God (or the devil?), The Vatican finally managed to complete the process of canonization of the mother of Teresa, and this is commented on by many people. Among them, the Italian Georgio Brusco, who personally knew Agnes Boyajiu and now serving a prison conclusion for the leadership of the criminal community, which is called the Mafia in his country. He spoke concisely: "If she is a saint, then I am Jesus Christ." Nevzorov - Mother Teresa is an extremely evil and greedy old woman/ Cont.ws/@galtuv
