Proof Mother Teresa is No Saint
According to Orthodox Christianity, in order to be a saint one must be Orthodox. Mother Teresa was a Vatican II Roman “Catholic”. Historically, the Orthodox have considered post-schism Roman Catholics to be heretics. In addition to being a victim of the Vatican II religion (which is not Catholic, Christian or Orthodox), Mother Teresa was was an advocate of the Vatican II spirit of religious indifferenetism, as we shall see.
Mother Teresa wrote in her own book: "I've always said we should help a Hindu become a better Hindu, a Muslim become a better Muslim, a Catholic become a better Catholic." (Mother Teresa, A Simple Path, p. 31).
Oh, so she wants Hindus to be better idolators and more efficient at violating the First Commandment? She wants Muslims to continue rejecting the deity, death and resurrection of Christ? (not to mention the fact they reject the Roman Catholic Church). God' hates idolatry so much, that the penalty for it in the Old Testament was death. (Lev. 20-1-5; Deut. 13; 17:2-5). The New Testament teaches that idolators will not see heaven. (Gal. 5:20-21; 1Cor. 6:9-10; Rev. 21:8). Idolatry is also a mortal sin in the Roman Catholic Church.
Compare the words of the Satanist Anton LaVey with Mother Teresa’s. He stated: "I have no axe to grind with Christianity. I feel that if Christians are good Christians, they want to be Christians, fine, if it's working for them. The same with any other religion." (Anton LaVey on The Joe Pyne Show).
Also compare the words of the witch Sybil Leek: "I'm not anti-religious. I think, I'm anti-hypocrisy. I think if you're Roman Catholic, be a very good Roman Catholic. If you're a Protestant, be a very good Protestant. And I think if you're a witch, be a good witch"...(The Amazing World of Kreskin).
In the 1989 Time Magazine Interview, Mother Teresa was asked: "What do you think of Hinduism?"
Mother Teresa replied: "I love all religions, but I am in love with my own. No discussion. That's what we have to prove to them. Seeing what I do, they realize that I am in love with Jesus."
So she loves Witchcraft, Wicca, Neo-Paganism, Masonry, Baha’i and Mormonism? These are all religions. She loves religions that deny Christ, the doctrine of the Trinity, and his resurrection, like the Jehovah’s Witnesses and Muslims? To love all religions, is to love lies, error, heresy, falsehood, delusion and deception.
Masonic authorities admit Masonry is a religion:
Albert Mackey: ...the religion of Masonry is cosmopolitan, universal... (Mackey, An Encyclopedia of Freemasonry and Its Kindred Sciences, Vol. 1, p. 301).
Henry Coil: Many Freemasons makes this flight [to heaven] with no other guarantee of a safe landing than their belief in the religion of Freemasonry. (Coil's Masonic Encyclopedia, p. 512).
Albert Pike: Masonry...is the universal, eternal, immutable religion...(Pike, Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry (Charleston, SC: Supreme Council of the 33rd Degree for the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States, 1927), p. 219).
To see how diabolical Masonry is, see the link at the bottom of this article. Perhaps Mother Teresa didn’t know Masonry is a religion, so I will give her the benefit of the doubt.
St. Polycarp of Smyrna writes:
“Everyone who does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is an Antichrist; whoever does not confess the testimony of the cross, is of the Devil; and whoever perverts the saying of the Lord for his own desires, and says that there is neither resurrection nor judgment, such a one is the first-born of Satan." (AD-135, Letter to the Philippians).
In one fell swoop St. Polycarp condemns all religions that do not confess that Christ has come in the flesh, and that reject the testimony of the cross.
The official statement released by the postulator for Mother Teresa’s cause stated:
"She respected every person, including atheists or agnostics, and respected the faith they had or even lacked. Here is a short testimony of someone who was closely associated with Mother Teresa for 23 years."I am a Hindu and I never saw the slightest evidence in all my 23 years of knowing Mother Teresa in the Missionaries of Charity, of converting"...When I asked her whether she converted, she answered, "Yes, I convert. I convert you to be a better Hindu, or a better Muslim, or a better Protestant, or a better Catholic, or a better Parsee, or a better Sikh, or a better Buddhist. And after you have found God, it is for you to do what God wants you to do." She wanted people to come closer to God (however they understood him) and believed that in this way they would also come closer to each other." (Source: www.motherteresa.org/08_info/2015-Conversion.html).
Mother Teresa said: "Brother Vinod, who runs Gandhiji Prem Nivas, our center for leprosy patients in Titagarh, Calcutta, understands how we try not to preach religion..." (Mother Teresa, A Simple Path, p. 31).
Mother Teresa's Order, the Constitutions of the Missionaries of Charity state: "We shall not impose our Catholic faith on anyone, but have profound respect for all religions, for it is never lawful for anyone to force others to embrace the Catholic faith against their conscience."
Mother Teresa said of those who come to them: "The sisters try and find our what religion they are, too--so that when they die they can have the appropriate burial. The Catholics go to the cemetery, the Muslims to be Muslim burial place, and the Hindu's to the burning ghat, which is very close to us. The majority of people who come to us are Hindus, so if we don't know their religion, we usually give them a Hindu burial." (Mother Teresa, A Simple Path, p. 122).
In the book, "Mother Teresa--An Authorized Biography, Kathyrn Spink wrote: "There were times when Mother Teresa transported people in dire need in a workman's wheelbarrow...those who were beyond treatment were given the opportunity to die with dignity, having received the rituals of their faith: for Hindus, water from the Ganges on their lips; for Muslims, readings from the Koran; for the rare Christian, the last rites." (see pp. 54-55).
Mother Teresa said: "We have among us 475 souls--30 families are Catholics and the rest are all Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs-- all different religions. But they all come to our prayers. At seven o'clock everyone assembles for thirty minutes. And we have readings--some Bible and other scriptures--any book can be read. A patient sometimes will give a small oration. I have never found a problem with people from different religions praying together." (Mother Teresa, A Simple Path, p. 31).
On page 43 of the same book Mother Teresa said: "There are so many religions and each one has its different ways of following God."
On page 19 she said: "Whatever religion we are, we must pray together."
On page 117 of the same book Mother Teresa said: "We have a wonderful center called Gandhiji Prem Nivas...Just inside the inner courtyard is a statue of Ghandi."
On October 7, 1975, Mother Teresa bowed before a statue of Buddha. In the book, "Mother Teresa--An Authorized Biography, Kathyrn Spink writes: "Prayers were offered with the Muslims, the Sikhs, the Parsis and the Jains. At the conclusion of service held in the Buddhist temple, the head monk of the Mahabodhi Society presented Mother Teresa with two electric candles symbolizing her work, which he said would burn forever...in the Jewish synagogue Mother Teresa was afforded the singular privilege of entering the "Holy of Holies.' Mother Teresa looked on all the prayers that were offered throughout the world as 'the best gift to God.' (see pp. 148-149).
The Council of Elvira, A.D. 305, states: "It has been decreed that those who in adult age after receiving Baptism shall go into the pagan temples to worship idols, which is a deadly crime and the height of wickedness, shall not be admitted to Communion even at death."
In her 1978 letter to the Prime Minister of India, Mother Teresa wrote: "You call him ISHWAR, some call him ALLAH, some simply God, but we all have to acknowledge that it is he who made us for greater things: to love and to be loved." (see Mother Teresa, Letter to Prime Minister of India, p. 155).
In the book, "Mother Teresa--An Authorized Biography," Kathryn Spink writes: "The president [of Albania] actually asked her to open six churches previously used for secular purposes. This she did and promptly insisted on reopening a mosque for the Muslims also." (see pp. 239-240).
The book, "Mother Teresa, A Simple Path" (Introduction) says that at Calcutta's Missionaries of Charity home for TB: "There is a life-size statue of Mary that has "an Indian face, wears an Indian tunic, and is held at her feet by a huge pink lotus blossom."
In the book, "Mother Teresa-An Authorized Biography," Kathyrn Spink writes: "In an ashram in the south of India, on the banks of the sacred Cauvery River, Dom Bede Griffiths, an English Benedictine monk, had adopted the life of a sannyasi...Mother Teresa sometimes sent her sisters there for brief retreats." (p. 153).
Who is Bede Griffiths? According to Wikipedia, Bede Griffith lived in ashrams in south India and became a noted Yogi, and was part of the Christian Ashram Movement.
On page 35 of "Mother Teresa: A Simple Path," Mother Teresa declares: "The following are prayers that we say every day from our prayerbook...You could replace "Jesus" by "God" if you are not a Christian."
Let us compare that statement with Holy Scripture: The Apostle John declared in 1 John 4:3: "And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist..."
1 John 2:23: " Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also."
1 John 5:12: "He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life."
John 3:36: "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."
John 8:24: "I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins."
Matthew 18:17: "if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican."
Mother Teresa said: "This is a very famous Hindu temple and people used to come there to worship and rest so I so I thought that this would be the best place for our people to be able to rest before they went to heaven; so I accepted there and then." (Kathryn Spink, "Mother Teresa-An Authorized Biography," p. 54).
Mother Teresa is not a saint even according to historic Roman Catholic criteria. She was a religiously indifferent heretic of the Vatican II religion, which is not even Catholic.
