	Talk:Mother Teresa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mother Teresa's defenders have responded that baptisms are either soul-saving or harmless, so the criticisms are without merit (a variant of Pascal's Wager).
		Teresa was obviously a very cunning person, and earned lots of money for the church by implying it went to medical care in India, whereas it went into the church's general fund instead.
		Some of the websites you mentioned critisize Mother Teresa on the basis of her catholic faith (belief in transubstantiation ect.) I think it is not necessary to include that in MT's article, since protestant criticism on catholic doctrine is already covered in other articles.

		After Mother Teresa's death, Mother House, the administrative heart of all the centres or "houses" of the Missionaries of Charity, virtually shut itself off as an information source, and Sisters were under strict instructions not to talk to the media until the funeral was over.
		MOTHER TERESA categorised the work of her mission on the basis of the type of service each centre demanded from a Missionary of Charity.
		Mother Teresa had prepared her congregation for her death and used to say: "As long as we are faithful, and go where God's work has to be done, we will be all right".

		...Mother Teresa was [later] interviewed by Ladies Home Journal, [April 1996 issue] a magazine read by millions of American women, and in the course of it she says that she heard that Princess Diana was getting divorced and she really hopes so because she will be so much happier that way.
		Hitchens called Mother Teresa a "demagogue, an obscurantist and a servant of earthly powers." Her stance on abortion and contraception were a sharp target of criticism by feminists such as Germaine Greer who found Mother Teresa's work with the poor to be hypocritical.

	American Catholic \| Readers' Stories of Mother Teresa's Inspiration
		My prayer is that the love that Mother Teresa showed will continue in the hearts of those touched by her life, and these souls will reach out to the hurting, dying, hopeless, lonely, suicidal and those that society rejects and bring hope and the love of Jesus to them.
		Mother Teresa's concepts, beliefs and the love she has shown others bring me to tears of joy and sadness, now that she is no longer here on earth with us.

	open book: Hitchens on Blessed Mother Teresa
		Mother Teresa was always candid that her goal was ministering to what she saw as the poor's spiritual needs and not their medical or economic ones.
		Mother Theresa may have done great things for the people in her facilities, but other less celebrated people are also doing wonderful things to care for the dying.
		I was speaking to those who like to criticize Mother's use of money and that she should have used it to fund huge medical help institutions rather than just the one-on-one approach which was her method; to systematize loving care somehow.

	Slur on Mother Teresa in paper stuns Church
		The article, by one of her long-term critics Christopher Hitchens (pictured), appeared in The Mirror under the headline 'Why Mother Teresa should not be a Saint' and proceeded to criticise the Vatican decision to beatify her in October.
		He notes that Mother Teresa, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, was first put forward for beatification only four years after her death and also claims only one miracle has been required of her when two are usually asked for.
		Mr Hitchens also slams Mother Teresa's strict views on pro-life and contraception issues, and ends by saying he feels the media have created a 'collective hallucination' of her life.

	Feminist Ethics
		To date Gilligan's critics have focused either on the relationship between justice and care, considered as two, gender-neutral perspectives on morality, or on the fact, that women are culturally associated with care and men are culturally associated with justice.
		Other non-feminist critics fault Gilligan not for claiming that care is a genuine moral virtue equal in value to justice, but for suggesting that this is ethical "news." These critics stress that two, not one, basic principles of prima facie obligation, benevolence and justice, have always ruled traditional western ethics.
		To be sure, from the standpoint of traditional western ethics, a mother's refusal to subordinate the concrete life of her child to the abstract commands of duty or higher law indicates her underdevelopment as a moral agent.

		Even apart from such common sense observations there is the clear evidence that whenever we consider human beings, we cannot avoid their volitional conduct, actions they choose to bring about on their own.
