A saint (from the Latin sanctus) is a human being who is believed to have been 'called' to holiness or has, consciously or unconsciously, fulfilled the criteria set for sainthood by a religious institution.

Well a better question is:
"How did religion come to exist? Ridiculous!"
Mother Teresa was no better or worse than any one else.
There are millions of "saints" all over the world that nobody knows about.

good find, SnF.
Although i would take it all with a grain of salt.
Im neither denying or confirming this, but she did help some...she did a little evil to go some good. Sure there are people who did much more who are forgotten in the pages of history, but that's how our system works. She is dead now, and if she did do evil, im sure her god ( assuming he/she/it exists ) is making her pay dearly, i hear hes vengeful.

Based off of one person's report that has only posted to website with a vested interest in saying this is so. And I cannot find any credentials for her actually being in the organization of which she claims to be in.
Another controversy surrounding her is that when she fell ill, instead of being treated at one of her clinics, she opted to be treated at a well-equipped hospital in California.

yes a list could go on for a very long time my friend, but does it make it anymore credible. I guess the real question is, is there an agenda. There is a lot of hate thrown around on a daily basis in our world, sometimes its hard to make fact from fiction.
People know her as good for a reason, many people where helped by her. Ok so even if she pocketed a few million, she helped so many, there is no denying that.
