So, that's fine if those sort of things don't bother you, or if you don't want to believe they are the truth (which you don't seem to).
For me, just the fact alone that she worked against birth control for these countries, and that she worked for the Vatican, and that she lied to donors, leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. If you call it "not taking a stand against an organization that she trusted" I call it "working for the Vatican and helping its agenda and being complicit in lying to donors in the name of her religious beliefs". Which I don't care for.

Okay, where did she lie? By negligence? Not doing enough work in the office after she was done helping the suffering?
Do you believe that since India is overpopulated the people should kill their children? To Mother Theresa, promoting the use of birth control would be similar to you or I promoting killing off excess population. You don't agree...and even I don't agree, but she didn't do it to bring harm. It was simply what she believed in her heart as the right thing. Just because you don't agree, how can you condemn her for her beliefs?
