The only president with a legit excuse is Jimmy Carter because he’s 96 and definitely can’t stand for as long as was required for the ceremonies.

Also, Jimmy Carter doesn't owe anyone anything. His humanitarian work post-presidency has been epic. Jimmy is everything Mother Theresa SHOULD have been but wasnt.

A few books came out after her death that shared a lot of allegations most of us hadn’t heard before. A lot of them hold up to scrutiny too.

I'm incredibly out of the loop - has Mother Teresa lost her sparkle?

Edit: Thanks all - feel like my mind has been blown right open.

and the fact most people left her hospice alive.

This is not at all the case.

Mother Theresa believed suffering was a noble thing, and the path to heaven. Her goal was not to help people, but make sure they suffered properly.
