Fraud & A Fake? Professors Make Shocking Claims About Mother Teresa

She’s known for being a symbol of hope and compassion, however according to claims this morning, Mother Teresa allegedly stashed away millions of euro in secret accounts.

The Irish Sun reports that researchers from the Universites of Montreal and Ottawa in Canada believe that the saintly image which surrounded the nun may have been nothing more than a myth.

Writing in the journal Studies in Religion/Sciences, Professor Serge Larivie and Genevieve Chenard openly question Mother Teresa’s “rather dubious way of caring for the sick” and “suspicious management of the enormous sums of money she received.”

Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity and spent most of her life in Calcutta, caring for the sick, the poor and the needy. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her charity work and was beatified by the Vatican in 2003.

Professor Larivie claims that after studying nearly 300 documents related to her life, there were a number of issues surrounding the nun that the Vatican never took into account.

These included a “dubious way of caring for the sick,” “questionable political contacts,” “suspicious management of large amounts of money” and her “overly dogmatic views on abortion, contraception and divorce.”

The professors studied documents relating to the life of Mother Teresa

At the time of her death, the famous nun had opened 517 missions for the poor and sick in over 100 countries. However, doctors visiting several establishments in Calcutta described them as nothing more than “homes for the dying.”

The doctors allegedly noted a lack of hygiene, inadequate food and no painkillers. The missions are believed to have raised millions of euro for the needy, but according to reports, following numerous natural disasters in India, Mother Teresa offered prayers but no direct monetary aid to the country.

“Given the parsimonious management of Mother Teresa’s works, one may ask where the millions of dollars for the poorest of the poor have gone?” said Dr Larivie.

But the professor did admit: “It is likely that she has inspired many humanitarian workers whose actons have truly relieved the suffering of the destitute.”
