We will always remember Mother Teresa of Calcutta for her untiring will to help the last ones, the deprived and poor. Today she is a Saint, celebrated all over the world, and surely one of the most important figures in modern history, awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize and countless other awards.
Before Carly Fiorina, before the fraudulent Planned Parenthood videos, there was Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Thanks to the Catholic church's propaganda, we remember the nun as a modern saint, but history tells a different story.
Two days ago, I was in China, speaking to a bunch of influential business leaders. One of them posed a challenge: "You speak about Vinoba Bhave, the spiritual heir of Gandhi, and how he walked 80K kilometers across India and inspired people to donate 5 million acres to their neighbors. Yes, it might've been an unprecedented feat in the history of mankind, but really, how many people remember Vinoba today? Instead, think of how many people remember Steve Jobs and the legacy he left behind." From a short-term impact point of view, it's a thoughtful dilemma.
Five U.S. presidents made the list of 18 finalists, and only one- John F. Kennedy -- made it onto the Top 5 list. Kennedy waskilled in 1963, and thus, can only be remembered contemporaneouslyby those who are now in their 40s or older, but the mystiquesurrounding JFK apparently continues to this day. Some mayattribute his high presence on the list to his martyrdom at thehand of an assassin's bullet, or perhaps to the publicity this yearsurrounding the tragic death of his son, John F. Kennedy, Jr., butit should be noted that JFK also generated high public opinionratings while he was alive and serving in office. In fact, duringhis presidency, Kennedy received the highest average job approvalratings of any president since World War II. Kennedy also comes innear the top of any list generated when Gallup asks Americans torate the best presidents in American history.
This campaign started during her own life, when the anti-abortion British journalist Malcolm Muggeridge made Mother Teresa's public image his singular cross to bear, first through a hagiographic 1969 documentary and then with a 1971 book. He set into motion a public resolve to situate her in the "realm of myth" rather than of history.
By recounting his 12-year relationship with Mother Teresa, Towey clearly hopes to keep her memory alive lest the secular gods of history tarnish her mountain of good deeds. For Christian readers, the book will likely accomplish that. For nonbelievers, or skeptics of sainthood, the book will likely fail to bring them closer to this extraordinary woman.
She found her home and the rest is history. The Missionaries of Charity feeds 500,000 families a year in Calcutta alone, treats 90,000 leprosy patients annually and educates 20,000 children every year.
The rest is history. Mother Teresa began to work among lepers, the ill, the orphaned, and the dying in Calcutta. She and the sisters of her new religious order, the Missionaries of Charity, literally picked the abandoned poor and dying out of the gutters of Calcutta. They tended to their physical and emotional wounds, always offering love, respect, and dignity. In 1979, Mother Teresa received the Nobel Peace Prize.
But the rest might not have been history, without the work of Eileen Egan and Helen Theissen, In fact, from the time of her arrival in India in 1929, Mother Teresa had never left. Her 1960 speech at the NCCW convention in Las Vegas was literally her introduction to the wider world.
