Y’all realize the Vatican no longer has a devil’s advocate? Sadly.

“In this article, we will examine the historical origin, office, and rationale behind the advocatus diaboli as well as the consequences attendant upon the abolition of office by Bl. John Paul II in 1982.”

As any well-formed Catholic knows, the Church is infallible in matters of faith and morals. That charism of infallibility is occasionally made manifest in her Magisterium or in an ex cathedra pronouncement by the pope.

However, it regularly becomes operative whenever a pope approves someone for canonization. If the supreme pontiff declares someone a saint, you can take it to the bank that this person is in heaven. (NOTE: Both blesseds and saints experience the beatific vision. The only difference is that veneration of beati is restricted to a particular locale, whereas that of saints is given to the universal Church.)
 
…every scrap of paper on which a Servant of God wrote, every thought they were known to have expressed, every action they were known to have taken — is gathered, investigated, and meticulously scrutinized. People they knew are interviewed. Any recorded recollection of them is read and evaluated.

When this detailed inquiry is complete, the investigatory documents are bound into books and sent to the responsible dicastery (i.e., bureaucracy) at the Vatican — the Congregation for the Causes of Saints. There theologians pore over these pages to discern whether the person in question lived a saintly life.
 
Jesus said, “Only God is good”. He is Lord . Please do not pray for anyone with such feelings in your heart. Or accuse as you do. It is not of God. Not of Jesus to accuse and will;harm you and separate you from Him.Not good for you. Bless you,in your life Bless you and learn to love as Jesus loves.

You have distanced yourself from the Catholic Church, and are propagating slander about a canonized saint.
With all due respect, I don’t think you should be telling Catholics how to pray. You’re speaking contrary to Catholic teaching on this thread, and perhaps you should take your own advice about how to “love as Jesus loves” and not always be taking potshots at the Church and spreading tales about people who did many good works.

Have a blessed Easter; I am leaving the thread, so any response you make, I will not see.
And I will continue to pray in good faith for you and others who are misguided.
 
What I know re Mother Teresa comes direct from aid workers who worked alongside her SIsters in many places. Good folk. The reports are consistently that those she took in off the streets were not cared for . especially children and babies,not fed and no diapers etc.In filth. It was not lack of money. Just this idea of poverty being holy. Which is fine if YOU want to do that but not to others. The Good Samaritan spends his money on that care. Hence with Mother Teresa, the out of date vaccines, dirty needles. lack of medication .
This is not slander.The witnesses are known to me personally and as I have said, I was shocked. I did not believe it so checked and checked. Same wherever I looked . My reaction was to withdraw from my involvement. Facing reality can be very very hard.
 
Praying for someone who has asked you not to is a spiritual invasion that will damage you… Ask your pastor?
 
No; I have distanced myself from what is not Catholic within the Church, and I am responding to the thread title. The thread is here asking a question. Without your rage . No one is denying some good works were done but also some less good works. The more you rage the further away I move; honey attracts more than vinegar. You might dwell on that.
 
Well, the overwhelming testimony does not agree with your sources.
What to make of that?

The Pope is Catholic. Canonization of saints is Catholic. Seconding-guessing the Pope and believing others over him, questioning that which God has revealed, and taking on the self-appointed role of Devil’s Advocate, is not.

If you do not believe the Church, and believe these others, that is your business, but it is at least one thing that is not Catholic within the Church we might want to really distance ourselves from.
 
I actually shook hands with someone who knew Mother Teresa -
It was a blessing in of itself -
Also I spoke with an Albanian coworker -
He says in 1989 - they didn’t allow her in the country -
Today, they have the airport named after her !
 
While I acknowledge that she is a Saint, I also acknowledge that she made mistakes.
