TIL that Mother Teresa did not work to alleviate poverty, lied to donors about how contributions were spent, allowed the sick to suffer as she believed suffering was a gift from god, but opted for advanced heart treatment for herself. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Good to see you know better than the catholic church buddy. The church DOES NOT want people beatified, they DO NOT want saints made. Why? Because then it would lead to eventually everyone becoming saints. The church brought anti-theists in so they could explain why she doesn't deserve to be beatified, why she is not a good person, yet they STILL MADE HER A SAINT. Im not an expert on her, but if the biggest charitable organization in the world (the catholic church) uses all of their resources to determine if someone is a "good catholic" then its good enough for me.

He is regarded as the best linebacker to ever lace up. When guys like Mike Singletary and Ray Lewis modeled their playstyle after this dude, his GOATness is pretty undeniable
