- In other words, she was a genuine human being. Of course the SP''s will run with this. Thank you CBS. I doubt if you''d run a story like this if she was a muslim - you cowards. Christians are just easy targets for your kind.

- I am sure we''''ll get all the Christopher Hitchens-wannabees, attacking faith life in general and Mother Teresa specifically.I will not judge their motives. But,kiddies, think before you issue a rambling attack on this woman.

Then certainly you don''t understand Hitchens in the least. He would be the first to judge her based on her deeds and not her professed faith. Most televangalists on the other hand... - Reply to this comment

- We have fears and doubts even about our faith. There is nothing wrong with showing our weakenesses. Posted by revamv7
You have some nerve thinking you have identified a "weakness" in this saintly woman''s character. Looking into the above story, I see no sign of weakness, only brilliant signs of strength. I mean heaven forbid this women acted with the sort of tenacity and courage she espoused on her own accord. This woman was not showing faith and humitilty to any sense of devinity, only strength and conviction in compassion for those around her. And from what I see in her letters, she did this because she was a shining example of the level of compassion all people should show towards one another. This shows that she was a mark of humanity, and closeness to divinity means nothing. - Reply to this comment
- To admit one''s own frailty is itself an act of faith. For those who, in absolute terms, deny the existence of God, the universe cannot make any sense. Her descriptions of what it was like to doubt are indicative of experiencing His absence. That is why we should seek Him. Faith is not an act of will, it is a form of knowing and seeing, that produces our acts. Mother Teresa''s actions showed what she knew.

- God is all powerful AND all good. He allows suffering to happen in this brief mortal experience to see if we as fellow travelers will do anything about it. Mother Teresa and the Good samaritan passed the test. Will we?

- Not because there was anything wrong with her but simply because she came to realize as more and more people are, that there is no God. Science is winning. People are leaving behind all the myths and superstitions and coming to realize what we really are.

really?

That will come as a surprise to those who do not consider themselves "little more than gods" and who consider their work in science and medicine,yet realize their work is the fruit of God''s love.Only those "know everything" learn too late how little knowledge they possess. - Reply to this comment
- soquilii, you need to take a course in critical thinking. Your logical thought process is, shall we be kind?, terrible

- I wouldn''t make so much out of this not-so-new revelation. Like one of the earlier writers said, it simply shows her human side. Which one of us haven''t at some point had doubt?
There''s going to always be those who wil try and use this information to lend credence to his or her atheist belief.
...what is most important to remember is that she stayed the course.
This revelation changes nothing for Christians. - Reply to this comment
