Worst Pope Ever

[andrewducker]

I'm actually pretty pleased in some ways - by moving, in many ways, even further in a conservative direction the church has made it more likely that it will lose members in the west, and possibly even provoke a schism.

Mother Teresa refused to help people unless they converted to the Catholic church, didn't she?

That I don't know. To most people though, Mother Terasa was essentially a mute. Mother Teresa the symbol was/is arguably more important than whatever she actually said or did in reality. (That's not to run down what she did of course. It's just she remains a tremendously powerful symbol and inspiration for a lot of people who are helping others).

Nope. She _did_ baptise the dying without them giving informed consent (arguably). There are some criticisms on the page here:
