She was a cabal creation and they laughed as we held her up as an icon of goodness. When Christopher Hitchens wrote a book exposing her dirty deeds, he was attacked. How dare he criticize such a wonderful woman! Nevermind that he pointed out things that could be documented: She cozied up to dictators, kept donated money even after learning it had been stolen from people's pensions, collected a fortune in donations meant for the poor and then gave much of it to the Catholic church, even as the poor in her hospitals writhed around on mats on the floor sharing reused needles, often denied pain meds to those suffering intense pain because she liked the idea of them offering their pain up to God, and fought against birth control for destitute mothers whose babies were sure to suffer and die.
I’m not sure about online resources, but cara_c mentioned the book by Christopher Hitchens. “The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice”; it came out in the mid 90s I think? Hitchens took a lot of heat for it.

Where can I learn more about this? I know nothing about her, good or bad.

All TRUE.
Yeah I saw a video on that, I had heard even before I saw the video how she denied people pain medicine.
The woman was evil. So many people deceived.
