I've watched two of the three parts of this documentary on the life and work of Mother Teresa. I'll watch the third tonight.
//Did the nun really deserve her saintly reputation? She inspired a craze for self-flagellation among her ‘sisters’, says one woman in this shocking three-parter, while a street doctor is even more scathing//

Chilling to say the least. Mother Teresa was a bizarre manifestation of self-obsession - in my opinion.

Not watched it. I assume this flagellation was unforced.
In the end it's a case of whether the good done during the lifetime sufficiently outways any bad.
Personally I'm not in a position to judge but will say that, as a kid I was given the impression that somehow saints had approval from God itself; when I grew up and realised it was just religious people applying a title to favoured folk I was much less impressed, and care little of who or who is not awarded the title. It's all a bit of nonsense anyway.

Thought naomi's post might have garnered a few more posts than this after nearly a week....
Probably too many Catholics use AB and choose to ignore the more unsavioury aspects of so called 'saints' etc..
Understandable.
Lets move to news or chatterbank or some other catagory....
'Mother' (thank God she wasnt MY mother)
Was evil in how she treated the dying in her care.
She was aborrhent.

how do we know someone is a saint?
does - "oh she is a saint, she is a saint" do the stuff?
or does the outcome data matter?
men resurrected
women awarded kids ( men present or not as needs be)
chickens laying eggs ( that didnt) (*)
and what do we expect from them ?
(*) St Menas ( st who-fuss etc etc who he den etc some more) was a big fella for making otherwise barren chickens, lay eggs
