Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, known globally as Mother Teresa, is one of 20th century’s most revered figures. But her legacy is far more complex, and arguably, far less saintly than the Vatican narrative suggests.
Let’s delve into it.
What exactly was motherly about her? A hideous virgin and fraud, never had a husband let alone children, a fanatic and fundamentalist shriveled old bat. She was as far from the nature of motherhood as a woman possibly get.
Disagree? Look at that black and white picture of her!
Does she look like a woman who is filled with the joy of motherhood?
Does she know anything about being a mother?
Let’s just call her Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, “mother” she certainly was not. Calling her “mother” would be an insult to all mothers out there who do their best to take care of their children, she did no such thing. She was a cold-hearted old bag.
And she was not a friend of the poor either, she was a friend of poverty.
While she collected hundreds of millions of dollars annually, investigations reveal a staggering discrepancy. Critics, including journalists and investigative reports, argue less than 10% (perhaps only 5-7%) was ever spent on direct medical care or food for the destitute she served in her “hospices.” The vast majority of these immense donations reportedly flowed back to Rome, significantly enriching the Vatican’s coffers. How much money is in those coffers you ask?
Not even god has the right to know that! Gonxha Bojaxhiu’s primary role, it appears, was as a highly effective global fundraiser for the Catholic Church, not a distributor of aid.
The conditions within her homes for the dying are also heavily criticized. Reports describe places where basic care was shockingly lacking.
Dirty needles were reused, leading to disease transmission. Pain medication was rarely administered, even for the most agonizing terminal illnesses. The philosophy underpinning this was reportedly her belief that glorifying suffering brought the poor closer to Christ’s own passion. As she allegedly stated, “Suffering must be endured… not cured.”. She also said “The most beautiful gift for a person is that he can participate in the suffering of Christ.”.
This approach prioritized spiritual symbolism over alleviating physical suffering.
Furthermore, her institutions were explicitly structured as “homes for the dying,” or “organized form of neglectful assistance”, designed for people with no hope of recovery, rather than centers for active medical treatment or rehabilitation.
You doubt the above? Well, let’s hear it from the horse’s, I mean the old wretch’s, mouth: “Tell them we are not here for work, we are here for Jesus. We are religious above all else. We are not social workers, not teachers, not doctors. We are nuns.”. There, she said it herself.
Donations flowed in constantly, but very little flowed back out to support the poor; the act of receiving was deemed spiritually superior to giving aid.
In essence, the evidence paints a picture of a woman who became a global icon of compassion while systematically diverting vast sums to the Vatican and operating institutions where suffering was not alleviated but embraced as holy. She was less a saint and more a master fundraiser operating a system designed to collect, not care. As evil as they come.
In closing, the richer the organized religion, the more powerful it is, and has the will and the means to wreak havoc and cause misery. The Catholic Church is exhibit A. It has a shining history of centuries of wholesale murder: forced conversions, the inquisition, the Crusades, which burning, not to mention systemic child abuse – pedophilia if you will, and it has not deviated one bit from that unholy crusade to this day. Its most celebrated foot-soldier — nay, general — in its war against decency and humanity was Mother Teresa aka Hell’s Angel.
Let’ hope she’s burning in hell, should there be one, where she belongs with the rest of her gang.
In case there are still doubts about religion’s destructive effects look no further than the issues surrounding the Unification Church in Japan and Korea. Alex
