Mother Theresa of Calcutta

	Mother Teresa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aroup Chatterjee, who had briefly worked in one of Mother Teresa's homes, began investigations into the finances and other practices of Teresa's order.
		Chatterjee added that the public image of Mother Teresa as a "helper of the poor" was misleading, and that only a few hundred people are served by even the largest of the homes.
		Chatterjee alleged that many operations of the order engage in no charitable activity at all but instead use their funds for missionary work.

	Pious Fraud? - DTM :<\| (Weblog of Dan Fingerman)
		Aroup Chatterjee, who grew up in Calcutta, has spent the last decade conducting an exhaustive investigation of Teresa's life, ministry, and reputation.
		Chatterjee, who was born and educated in Calcutta, is a doctor who now lives and works in Britain.
		Chatterjee favours reopening it and maintains that Mother Teresa kept her accounts secret because most charitable donations went to religious activity.

		Chatterjee writes from the heart, displaying the complex feelings of the Indian abroad: pain and anger at the maligning of Calcutta for the furtherance of a comforting western myth, and shame at the Indian middle class’ servile collusion.
		Chatterjee also discusses the development of the Teresa myth, the funds in the Vatican Bank, the Mother’s politics, and her powerful friends.
		Chatterjee, like Hitchens, has testified to the Vatican Committee as a witness against her suitability for canonization; yet he also wonders whether it should matter much who the Catholic Church rewards for services to the firm.

	Socialist Review
		Coming only six years after her death, it is the latest in a series of controversial bids by a dying John Paul II to stamp his ultra-conservative legacy on an increasingly scandal-ridden church.
		Aroup Chatterjee, a Calcuttan by birth and atheist by conviction, migrated to Britain in 1985 to work as a doctor.
		Along the way Chatterjee casts doubt on her suitability as a candidate for sainthood, uncovers the unholy alliance that led to her receipt of the Nobel Prize, and reveals the brutal ideology that dominated life in the few homes for the poor run by the order she established.

	Reviewer's Bookwatch: Mother Teresa: the Final Verdict
		While Chatterjee argues that Mother Theresa did not do as much charity as she claims, Sanal Edamaruku of the Indian Rationalist writes that by her work she projected Calcutta and India as a land of beggars and thereby did India incalculable harm.
		As for Chatterjee's comment that no one in Calcutta knew or cared about MT's death, I can assert that it was almost a day of mourning here in India.
		Chatterjee, is sure to have studied in a Christian institution or made use of the excellent health services provided by the Christian institutions, at one time or another in his lifetime.

		Chatterjee, who had deposed as hostile witness at the inquiry into Mother Teresa's life and virtues in London, said, ''Ever since I went to England and travelled to other countries in the West, people looked upon me as an oddity - a doctor from the world's ultimate hell-hole.''
		This image, he said, was the result of persistent media coverage of Mother Teresa and activities of the Missionaries of Charity, that depicted the Nobel laureate nun and sisters of her order as the ultimate saviour of the city teeming with leprosy patients and groveling in poverty.
		Encouraged by the success of his book, Chatterjee is in the process of creating a network of sympathisers who would work in projecting the reality that Kolkata is not all slums, leper colonies and hunger and that Mother Teresa's is not the only charity organisation working in the metropolis.

		I am delighted that Dr. Aroup Chatterjee's book, "Mother Teresa: The Final Verdict", ends up in the small but select body of work that fails to endorse the winner of a rather special version of the much celebrated Keynesian beauty contest.
		She knew what her god expected her to do and she did it regardless of who she had to enlist the support of.

	'Mother Teresa harmed Kolkata's image'
		Raising a voice of dissent as the world prepares to celebrate Mother Teresa's beatification on October 19, a doctor, who had deposed before an inquiry into the Mother's life, on Thursday said she did 'more harm than good' to the image of the City of Joy.
		Kolkata's negative image was the result of persistent media coverage of Mother Teresa and the activities of the Missionaries of Charity that depicted the Nobel laureate nun as the ultimate saviour of a city teeming with leprosy patients, he said.
		Fr Gason Roberge, Jesuit priest and professor of mass communication and videography at St Xavier's College, admits that some of the poverty of Kolkata was known to the West through media reports about Mother Teresa and her activities.

	Challies Dot Com: Book Review - Mother Teresa: The Final Verdict
		Through his research and involvment in the deposition, Chatterjee came to the realization that canonization is not bestowed on the basis of morality, but on the basis of strict and committed adherence to the tenets of Catholicism.
		Chatterjee quotes Mother Teresa as saying, "We are not nurses, we are not doctors, we are not teachers, we are not social workers.
		We are religious, we are religious, we are religious." Yet Mother Teresa is known as a humanitarian and one who gave her life to the poor.

	'Mother Teresa harmed Kolkata's image'
		"It seems to me that she needed the city more than it needed her," Aroup Chatterjee, a Kolkata-born doctor settled in England, told PTI from London.
		Persistent confrontations with his native city's negative image in the West prompted Chatterjee to write Mother Teresa: The Final Verdict, a treatise on the activities of the Missionaries of Charity and its founder.
		Describing Chatterjee as a bull in a china shop, Paul said: "No one has the licence to misinterpret or judge with malicious intent the well- intentioned acts of others if the person judging cannot commit himself to such good acts."

		MacIntyre briefly quotes a London-based doctor, Aroup Chatterjee, a well-known critic of Mother Teresa, as saying that the Indian government is “terrified” of her reputation but if similar practices were found in any other home, it would have been shut down.
		In his book, Mother Teresa: The Final Verdict, Chatterjee argues that Calcutta’s reputation has suffered because of its links with her.
		MacIntyre says the home, where he worked for four days pretending to be a volunteer, has poor standards of hygiene, suffered from a lack of soap and that the head of the unit dissolved medicine by using her finger.

		Yes, it's that kind of a book -- Mother Teresa, The Final Verdict (Meteor Books, Kolkata, 2003, pages 427, price not stated) by Aroup Chatterjee, born, bred and educated in what was once Calcutta, who moved to Britain in 1985 and now works as a medical practitioner in London.
		That Chatterjee is an atheist and a doctor would seem to have fuelled this probe into one who was labeled by the West and its Indian sycophants as the 'saint of the gutters' though 'her only message to the world was that abortion was murder.' (Page 393).
		Charges of Mother Teresa's 'neglect of residents, indifference to suffering, massaging of figures, manipulation of the media and conscious handling of millions of dollars of stolen cash' (page [iv] of Introduction) --- are all there in the book that few Indians would have dared to write.

		I e-mailed Aroup Chatterjee quite a whilst ago, seems the web site now has a lot more information posted!
		Hitchens does tend to come across as a bit of an arrogant prick, but its difficult to imagine who else would've had the balls to write a book like that, especially in exposing a "saint" of the politically powerful and media dominant RCC and naming her what she really was - a charlatan and crook.
		Also, a doctor in London, Aroup > Chatterjee, who is from Calcutta, has written a book about MT. He also wrote > in opposition to her pending sainthood.
