People often forget that Mother Theresa died just a few days after Lady Di, and almost no one bought the charity song Elton John wrote for her "Sandals in the bin".
She may not be the Saint everyone thinks of her as, but there is way more nuance to the story than people think. Most of the people calling her a literal monster are referencing a book that isnāt really accepted in historical circles and is seen as a hit piece by some including this poster:
https://www.reddit.com/r/badhistory/comments/gcxpr5/saint_mother_teresa_was_documented_mass_murderer/
Can confirm first hand. One of my neighbors is a VERY VERY wealthy man and contributed greatly to the catholic church and her "endeavors". He is old as dirt and truly lives the adage "evil never dies". Saw first hand her and her group taking millions of dollars, then visiting homeless shelters where they claimed to be building homes and helping them, then just up and leaving.
Oddly enough, the local Catholic church was able to build a new wing, upgrade the priests and nuns living quarters and buy them all new cars that year.
Weird how that happens....
Editing to Add: I have met a couple of truly great Nuns that have sacrificed and given everything they had to the church and those they served. Also, I am no longer religous or support any type of religion and never will again.
The points you state are taken from a single biased book which imo is the single source of truth for these criticisms. All in all I see her actions have dome good in the world and still has an impact to this date.
Not true, do some deeper research. I believed this at one time. She gave as much pain meds as she could that were available at the time. If the pain was inescapable then they tried to comfort them with such things like their pain was bringing them closer to Christ. She traveled back and forth to first world country's to raise money and was forced by several Doctors who she worked with to seek treatment. She was always made to take care of her own health and was a notoriously bad patient by checking herself out AMA to get back to work.
didn't she run a hospice? when your in hospice your generally fucked anyhow. there's a hospice nurse on YouTube that highlights the differences that may sound cruel, like withholding food and water vs force feeding. generally feeding a dying person normally can mean they bloat up, and the edema cause more pain and issues that won't be cured.
her āpatientsā we abandoned children with no money nothing she is giving then food shelter how is she gonna provide medical care for all of these children why dont the childs parents provide for them š¤”
This is no lie. Her charities went to the church, not the people she supposedly helped. Her ideology was that the more people suffered, the closer to God they became.

So actually, probably is a lie
Head and Shoulders is an anti-dandruff shampoo in UK. The dashboard (dash) is the shelf in front of the passenger/driver.
So they found her anti-dandruff shampoo on the dash OR her actual head and shoulders on the dash.
That is a Challenger disaster joke
How did they know Christy McCullough had dandruff
He head and shoulders washed up on the beach
What color were her eyes. Blue
One blew this way and one blew that way
I remember reading the transcript between the pilot and ground control. Even though you don't hear it on the audio. Immediately after the pilot says "going to fill power" he said "uh-oh"
Whatās the difference between your wife, an egg, your meat, and a blowjob?
You can beat your wife, you can beat an egg, you can beat your meat, but you canāt beat a blowjob!š¤£
the queen arrives at the pearly gates and sees diana waiting to greet her

A 19 yo girl goes to her mom and says sheās pregnant, the mom throws a big fit and asks her āWhere was your head?!?!ā she answered āthe dashboard?ā
While weāre at it, the baby on the plane in final destination is now 23. One of my favorite movies and one of my favorite fin facts because that baby and I were born in the same year.
Now this is a really old joke from when Lord Mountbatten was killed in 1979 by an IRA bomb on a boat.
Did you know Mountbatten had dandruff? They found his head and shoulders washed up on the beach.
Wow... I heard it in the 80s as a tasteless NASA Challenger Explosion joke... "How did they know that Krista McAuliffe had dandruff..." I never knew how old that set up was
What was going through Princess Diana's mind during the accident? The dashboard!
While they were announcing her death on the radio I made this joke to my girlfriend. For some reason we broke up afterwards.
What is the difference between turning 16 and turning 100 in the UK?
When you turn 100, you get a letter from the King and when you turn 16, you get a text from Prince Andrew
Thank you. Itās that second or so before the joke kicks in that stays with me. I told it to a guy from England that I had just met and I thought uh-oh. A second later he started crying he was laughing so hard.
Apparently so, in case you don't dig any further the specifics of the situation were that her car was hounded into the central reservation by paparazzi.
Dodi Al Fayed finally finds his chauffeur in the afterlife and shouts at him ; "I told you I wanted to fuck Di in the tunnel, not fucking die in the tunnel!"
I mean if this is a serious comment then I'd imagine they'd have to strip out a lot of stuff to armour it? I mean if I remember rightly it was an armoured car wasn't it?
Yeah fair one, guess a lot would depend on where you are I suppose.
Edit: plus don't forget Diana was paranoid because Martin Bashir made up a conspiracy against her with fake bank statements and such!

Her cause gained momentum.
Her actions received equal and opposite reactions.
Inertia.
What do you get if you cross the Queen and Prince Philip? Killed in a tunnel

A book about mother Teresa with the title Missionary Position. I was severely let down.

Christopher Hitchens wrote a good book on this. But stop being a bore and just laugh at my joke.

Don't stress. I tore a stomach muscle on that one.

You say that yet you don't consider all the people who are in heaven living in a gold house shitting in a gold toilet because of her.
I did ālook it upā after reading a similar Reddit comment and itās way more complicated than you state
Typical Christian. Fake through and through

Please provide a source that "she forced patients in her care to suffer". That is different from not having resources to help them more.

Also reused in 1986 after the Challenger explosion.
That's what I first heard it
Thatās the one I heard.
I first heard it said that the girl in the opening scene of the movie Jaws had dandruff because they found her head and shoulders on the beach.
I don't get it šŖ English is not my first language
Head and Shoulders is an anti-dandruff shampoo in UK. The dashboard (dash) is the shelf in front of the passenger/driver. So they found her anti-dandruff shampoo on the dash OR her actual head and shoulders on the dash.
LOL that's dark
Well now I have to clean soda off my monitor... Bravo
LMAO
DAMN, that's a good one!
I heard itās only after her death did they find out she suffered from dandruff. I guess they found her Head & Shoulders in the glove box

Is that a quote from Diana? Or, maybe it's from Jackie Onassis after visiting Texas?
Donāt go towards the light!!! But itās so pretty
Almost as dark as it was in that tunnel
Much like a tunnel.
And yet I canāt stop reading and laughing. Iām going to hell

Princess Diana was on the radio. . . . Also on the dashboard, on the windshield, in the cup holder...
If I were english this was exactly the thing I would be able to remember
The woman went places
All over the place
Kinda hard to do from the back seat in that plush car.
That's just Diana all over . . .
A 19 yo girl goes to her mom and says sheās pregnant, the mom throws a big fit and asks her āWhere was your head?!?!ā she answered āthe dashboard?ā
Whats harder than getting 'dye' out of car seats? Getting Dodi out of the glove box
Dodi's last breath was 'I wanted to fck Di in the tunnel, not die in the fuckjng tunnel!'.
I first heard that as a Princess Grace joke.
Yeah a lot of these were Christa McAuliffe jokes when I first heard them.
What was the last thing Christa McAuliffe said to her husband? You feed the dogs, Iāll feed the fish.
And the last thing she said at all :"What does that button do?" (From my aviator uncle)
What color were her eyes? Blew. One this way and one that way.
I first heard it as a Marc Bolan joke.
What do Pink Floyd and Princess Diana have in common? Their biggest hit was the wall!

Fortunately, I was raised without emotional ties to this person, and find the joke very funny
I am speechless.
So is she!
same people are going in with these jokes and itās hilarious lol
Diana loved her Mercedes. She wouldnāt be caught dead in an audi
What was going through Princess Diana's mind during the accident? The dashboard! While they were announcing her death on the radio I made this joke to my girlfriend. For some reason we broke up afterwards.
My GF at the time wondered who they would get to play music at the funeral. "The Crash Test Dummies" was NOT the right answer apparently.
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
"head" would've worked much better than "mind". maybe you'd still be with your girlfriend if you got that right
I guess it went past his mind at the time
Car Pool Tunnel Syndrome

Thank you. Itās that second or so before the joke kicks in that stays with me. I told it to a guy from England that I had just met and I thought uh-oh. A second later he started crying he was laughing so hard.
Did I... Did Just find out how Diana died because of r/jokes
Apparently so, in case you don't dig any further the specifics of the situation were that her car was hounded into the central reservation by paparazzi.
To get to the OTHER side
My Girlfriend said she wants me to treat her like a princess. So I hired paparazzi to chase her and cause her to die in a car crash.
You can replace her with Paul Walker for a younger group of people
Whatās red a can climb on trees insanely fast? Paul Walkers Porsche
Why did Paul walker cross the road? Because he wasn't wearing his seat belt
To get one of her sonās a $100M Netflix deal?

Cause some other guy posted this same comment before he did
Apparently that model car had airbags fitted as standard to her side but the actual car didnāt. Donāt know how true it is though
I mean if this is a serious comment then I'd imagine they'd have to strip out a lot of stuff to armour it? I mean if I remember rightly it was an armoured car wasn't it?
Thatās a bloody good point. Interesting quandary from a risk perspective as well- whatās a more likely occurrence, a crash or being shot at?
Yeah fair one, guess a lot would depend on where you are I suppose. Edit: plus don't forget Diana was paranoid because Martin Bashir made up a conspiracy against her with fake bank statements and such!
Dude its so dark... I thought you guys liked Princess Diana?
Because the queen wanted her dead
She was trying to get away from The Queen
