Why The Left Hates Mother Teresa Of Calcutta
Breibart.com ^ | September 4, 2016 | Thomas D. Williams, PH.D

Posted on 09/04/2016 4:35:57 PM PDT by Biggirl

As the world awaits Mother Teresa’s canonization Sunday, one mystery remains: why the international Left still harbors such hatred for a diminutive religious sister who spent her entire life serving the poorest of the poor. After all, with her inexhaustible dedication to alleviating poverty and assisting the needy, Mother Teresa should be an icon of liberals the world over. Instead, we find that the Left showers her not with affection and praise, but with scorn and disdain.

The leftards on NPR were losing their minds. They were shocked, shocked I tell you, that St. Theresa of Calcutta had the unmitigated temerity to evangelize, but what was truly unforgivable in their minds, was that she was pro-life.

I had to turn off the radio, they were so disgusting.

That's it. She was not a franchisee of Global Power Philanthropy Inc.

Because they hate God.

Someone, if she were alive today even, would most likely never and ever be bought by Soros money.

Sounds to me like she’s a sincere follower of Jesus, which in my opinion is the most likely reason the left feels the way they do.

That’s a big label.Many on the left love Mother.Christopher Hitchens did not like her.Mother loved the poor because God loved the poor and called her to serve them.With that imprint of God’s love she saw the face of the poor as God and treated them as such.To prove her love she took the least of everything.That’s what Saints do.I once stood outside of an abortion chamber being built.I told the worker he was building something that would kill children.He told me go work for Mother Theresa or something.His hands started shaking as I talked to him.The people who could not buy her hated her but most of the left and the world loved her.

Christopher Hitchens had a very serious minded investigative program about her way back. He was equally serious with his comments about the Clintons when they first left the White House—dead broke. There was that person in the U.S. who was a semi-sponsor for her—a bad apple. Missionary Position—his book. Mother Teresa:Hells Angel—his program.

Our Pastor told us today during his homily that he het her at Harvard. It was a “Secular” gathering. However a Rabbi told her NOT to mention Jesus’ name because he said it “offends” Jews. She did NOT comply.....

Saint Mother Theresa’s name and heritage will outlive the Left here in the U.S.A. by THOUSANDS of generations.

So, the rabbi speaks for ALL Jews, does he? I doubt it. The name of Jesus offended HIM, that's for sure.

Christopher Hitchens was a drunk.A good writer but a drunk.He felt the world boring without alcohol.He would show up for interviews on TV and no one knew if he would show up drunk or sober.I once saw him interviewed drunk.I have a few friends that were at an awards ceremony in NY.Chris was there and after Father accepted the award Chris accused him of being a Pedophile drunk.If you look way back with Chris he had a hard life.Deep in there was abuse and later he says he is bisexual.”Hitchens was bisexual during his younger days.[19] He claimed to have had sexual relations with two male students at Oxford who would later become Tory ministers during the premiership of Margaret Thatcher, although he would not reveal their names publicly.[20]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Hitchens
Why was he mad at Mother.Because she was pure.Someone who is bored with everything as a negative attacked her.I hope he made it.

He also claimed later on to have learned he had the same girl friend as Bill Clinton did at Oxford. The blogs are using him—his writings, etc..—to buttress there claims against Mother Teresa. For the Clintons and Gores to stand and not applaud—CYA—at that Funeral in NY for the Cardinal for his stand for Pro Life positions is revealing as to there mindsets. I told my sister recently that at one time a Vatican scholar worked for McDonald’s restaurants as an executive and did influence the design of every building built—the Obama care exemption rules there health care coverage. The Obamas like the design of the burger joint so well as to permit an exemption—not the Little Sisters of the Poor.

Also he was present when Sydney Blumenthal—another drunk—was trashing Monica Lewinsky. He lost a friend over that.

Particularly the Christian “God”.

There is only one worldview which make slavery, pederasty, homosexuality, pedophilia, polygamy, baby-killing (sacrifice), sodomy (Ba’al Rites), etc. into “Evil” and we never allowed “Just” Law to promote it—esp. to our children.

Now, we have a Vice System (satanism promotion 24/7)-—which is what the Leftists LOVE, because they know it will destroy moral formation in our children as all toxic culture does, so they will have fellow slaves for Life. Vice breeds only vice and evil worldview. Truth is loathed, as is Light and the Good.
