Observations On Mother Teresa

There’s no concrete evidence to refute it, but it is reasonably certain that the diminutive Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu ever chased anyone from anywhere, unless and, as for washing feet and the rest of bodies, it’s also pretty certain that it was she who did the washing. Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity and spent most of her adult life tending to the needy in the Black Hole of Calcutta, now Kolkata, but came under criticism during her life and after her death primarily from a small clique of atheists, agnostics, and “progressives” who must have known better than the notoriously atheistic, agnostic, and “progressive” Nobel Prize Committee.
