Mother Teresa Saint or ?

Mother Teresa of Calcutta is being canonized in Rome today by Pope Francis I.
The new saint purportedly performed two post-mortem miracles: the healing of a woman in India with a stomach tumor and of a Brazilian man with brain abscesses.
The canonization is not without controversy. Mother Teresa has been accused of offering stingy or substandard medical care; of claiming virtue in suffering rather than trying to alleviate it; of cozying up to dictators, including “Baby Doc” Duvalier, Albanian strong man Enver Hosha, and Cuban dictator Fidel Castro; and of shamelessly promoting her efforts to a global media eager for heroes.
But the Vatican has opted to overlook these failures, along with her attempt to renounce her vows as a nun in order to become a secular social worker; her many statements that smacked of heresy; including her belief in the validity of all religious expressions; and her denial of the exclusivity of the Christian claim to the truth.
But it’s hard to overlook the fact that Mother Teresa claimed that she was possessed by a devil and underwent a rite of exorcism in 1977. After the rite was performed Archbishop Henry D’Souza of Calcutta said that the nun participated in a “prayer of protection” and “slept peacefully after that.”
News of the exorcism was reported by Chandra Banerjee of the Associated Press but failed to gain the attention of the mainstream media.
And so a woman who was possessed by Satan will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, along with other questionable saints, including Junipero Serra, who brought Catholicism to California, and John Paul II, who presided over the plague of pedophilia among the priesthood.
