Reason: added a quote

She was sadistic and likened the suffering of the poor and dying to becoming closer to god (which "god", I wonder?).

This info has been out for a while. Its even on wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Mother_Teresa

From the wiki write up: "In 2013, in a comprehensive review[8] covering 96% of the literature on Mother Teresa, a group of Université de Montréal academics reinforced the foregoing criticism, detailing, among other issues, the missionary's practice of "caring for the sick by glorifying their suffering instead of relieving it,"

(link below) "Hitchens quoted Mother Teresa: "I think it is very beautiful for the poor to accept their lot, to share it with the passion of Christ. I think the world is being much helped by the suffering of the poor people." The operative words are those last few in which she specifies exactly whose suffering is beneficial to the world. As Hitchens notes, her own suffering was apparently not as beautiful in the eyes of her God, so she checked into "some of the finest and costliest clinics and hospitals in the West" when she had heart trouble in her old age."
