I don't know why people are really bothered if Mother Teresa's going to be made a Saint.

The only people who will care are Catholics because that's the only church (apart from in some cases the Orthodox) who care about canonization.
It's an entirely religious title with no secular recognition or significance.

So if people think she was a dreadful person who did more harm to the poor than good, this won't affect that or the reach of the movement promoting this idea (Christopher Hitchens' videos for example). The same goes for people who think she was great.

This thread is just a moaning session which has been activated by Mother Teresa's canonization consideration in the news. The fact that she's going to be made a Saint is secondary.
It's fine to have a moan and express opinions. I dislike Christopher Hitchens' rhetoric (sorry Hitch fans). It's fine that I have that opinion.

Point being that her becoming a Saint won't really bring about anything new, she's been a 'blessed' for years after all. For non-Catholics it's just a reminder of the Church's absurd, pseudo-religious and nonsensical practices. Big deal.

I ain't got nuthin' funny to say. Sorry.

The motive behind her work was devotional, it wasn't to alleviate suffering it was to wallow in it and perversely see it as a gift. The poor standards of medical care, allegations of misusing of funds and her opposition to concraception sort of gives one the indication that she was more obsessed with working for 'god' and the politics of her religion, rather than the poor or sick.

Selfless acts are their own reward. They do not require recognition because those seeking it are not really committing selfless acts.

Besides that, all talk of saints is just medieval religious mumbo jumbo, and it is shameful that the Catholic church, or any other, perpetuates such superstitious garbage.
