Her reputation was undercut by persistent allegations of misuse of funds and poor medical treatments. During an event on 17 December to mark his 79th birthday, Pope
Francis attributed a second miracle to Mother Teresa, the late Roman
Catholic missionary who has become an international icon for her
charitable work. It’s an important move, effectively paving the way for
the nun to become a saint, the highest honor bestowed by the Roman
Catholic Church.
Among Mother Teresa’s many fans — most of whom view her canonisation as inevitable and perhaps even overdue — the announcement is being met with celebration. However, it will probably also bring new fuel to the difficult and sometimes bitter debate about the merits of Mother Teresa’s charitable work and the nature of her legacy.
