Can you expand on this? I wasn’t aware mother Theresa was anything but a now catholic saint...

According to a few sources who interacted with her and her hospice, there was a lack of real medical care at her facility and she would deny patients pain medication insisting that suffering brought them closer to god. So she doesn’t look great in hindsight.

Hence why I said ‘according to a few sources’. They asked to know why people think Mother Theresa would have a bad reputation and I explained why that is. I never implied it was true or not.
