Mother Teresa is famed for being one of history’s true altruists. She
devoted her life to the poor, opening her first Missionaries of Charity
home in 1950s Calcutta, and going on to open hundreds more across the
world. As word of her mission spread, it caught the public imagination
and millions of dollars began to pour in, all of which went to help
those who needed it most. At least, that’s the official version.
The reality is far grimmer. According to those who’ve volunteered there, Mother Teresa’s missions are squalid cesspits run along violent, authoritarian lines. There are reports of unruly children being tied to beds and beaten, of outdated equipment not being replaced, and of needles being reused in countries with high HIV infection rates (such as Haiti) until they were so blunt they caused pain. All of this wrapped up in a culture of unquestioning obedience, secrecy, and control that is said to resemble a cult.
