Hi, everybody, It has been an interesting week. 5 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: I went viral on TikTok kind of as you know 6 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: some of you know if you're hear from that. Hello, 7 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to my circle of discontent. For those of you 8 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: who don't know, I am a social scientist who talks 9 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: about history on the internet, sometimes via this podcast and 10 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: sometimes on TikTok. And two of my videos did really 11 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: well this week. So my yeah videos, one of which 12 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 1: was it's about Leonardo da Vinci. Basically Leonardo da Vinci 13 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: had like this extreme level of fitness and there are 14 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: stories of him like being able to like bend a 15 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: horseshoe with one hand, and you know, I mean the 16 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: metal was different back then, so and if he was 17 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: really strong, he probably could do it. But anyway, so 18 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: that did really well, and I was genuinely surprised because 19 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: I was like, okay, and then I had another video 20 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: and then I did another video of about mother Teresa, 21 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: and that kind of blew up and so that was 22 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: that was a bit interesting. I genuinely did not think that, 23 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: of all things, something about Mother Teresa would blow up 24 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: like that. So it was requested that I would go 25 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: a little bit more in depth. And so so this 26 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: week's episode is Mother Theresa did what Now had a 27 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: variety of sources.

Gonzie Byasu was born on the twenty 60 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: sixth of August nineteen ten in Scopia, which is now 61 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: the capital of North Macedonia, and to her Albanian parents. 62 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: So basically, when she turned twelve, she said that God 63 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: came to her and Agnes would be Agnes would be 64 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: the Anglicized version of a yes, which I've probably mispronounced. 65 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: But like, as a young girl, she was fascinated by 66 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: the stories of you know, Christian missionaries and their service 67 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: in Bengal, and by the time she turned twelve, like 68 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: she was convinced that, you know, she had to join 69 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: a religious order and that she had to commit herself 70 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: to religious life. And in nineteen twenty eight, when she 71 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: was eighteen, she prayed at the Black Madonna of Vitinna 72 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: Litnus and where she often went on pilgrimages. This basically 73 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: made her feel like absolutely, I need to go and 74 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: be a nun and shit, so so off she goes 75 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: decides to join the Sisters of Loretto at the Loretto 76 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: Abbey and with foreignhum in Ireland to learn English, because 77 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: of course Ireland is the place you should go to 78 00:05:53,400 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: learn English anyway, and so she moves there and she 79 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 1: never sees her family again. So after a year in Ireland, 80 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: she heads to India and goes to der Dueling in 81 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: the Lower Himalayas, and she learns Bengalle and she teaches 82 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: at Saint Teresa's school which is near her convent. So 83 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: she takes the name Theresa to be named after Terres 84 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: de Lusieux, the patron saint of missionaries Okay, and takes 85 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: a religious vows on the twenty fourth of May nineteen 86 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: thirty one. So she takes her religious vows in nineteen 87 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: thirty one, and then she takes her solemn vows in 88 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: nineteen thirty seven. So in Okay, skip forward to tenth 89 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: September ninety forty six and Theresa has this experience and 90 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: she basically calls this the call within the call, she 91 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: was traveling to the Little Loretto Convent indur Jeeling from 92 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: Kolkata for like an annual retreat, and she leaves the 93 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 1: Liretto Order and creates her own, the Missionaries of Charity. 94 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: So the missionary work starts in nineteen forty eight. She 95 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: takes away her Loretto habit and replaces it with the 96 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 1: white cotton sarrey that we all know her to have. 97 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: When you think of Mother Teresa, you think of that 98 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: way white sarry with the blue border on it. So 99 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,679 Speaker 1: she goes to Patna, gets her Indian citizenship and receives 100 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: basic metal medical training at the Holy Family Hospital. I'm 101 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: going to try to pronounce this. So she found a 102 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: school in Motio Cocata, and she was joined at the 103 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: beginning by a group of women who then joined her 104 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: sort of religious community. And by all accounts, this first 105 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: year was rough, like properly rough. You know. She wasn't 106 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: getting any funding from anybody. There was nothing coming in, 107 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: and she was struggling with the very basic necessities. So 108 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: basically she has to beg her order, basically has to 109 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: beg for food and supplies and everything else. In nineteen 110 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: fifty the Vatican basically gives her promit to have her congregation, 111 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: the missionaries of charity. So they give her like that 112 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: filled stamp, ye if you go have fun. And ninety 113 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: fifty two she opens up a hospice, converting a Hindu 114 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: temple into the Klagat Home for the dying The whole 115 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: concept of this was so that those brought to the 116 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: Kela got home for the dying, would be able to 117 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: receive not only medical attention for their needs and to 118 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: die with dignity in accordance with their faith. Hindus would 119 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: receive water from the Ganges, Muslims would read from the Koran, 120 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: and you know, Catholics would receive like last Rites and 121 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: so on and so forth. So after nineteen fifty five, 122 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: when Teresa opens up Nomalaitya Shubavin, the Children's Home of 123 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: the Immaculate Heart is like an orphanage in a place 124 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,959 Speaker 1: for like homeless youths and stuff. And this is when 125 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: she starts gaining attention. So the mission needs of charity starts, 126 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: you know, attracting more recruits and more donations, and you know, 127 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: and by the sixties it has hospices, orphanages, leper houses 128 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: throughout India. So then like mid sixties, you know, Venezuela, Italy, Tanzania, Austria, 129 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: and by the seventies, you know, they've got houses and 130 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: foundations in the US, in Asia, Africa, Europe, like all 131 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 1: over the world. So the Missions of Charity Brothers then 132 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: gets founded in ninety sixty three. Going back, we a 133 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: bit and this is just like the brother to the 134 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: sisters of her missionaries of charity, and loads of priests 135 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: are like contacting Mother Teresa. They're like, hey, can you 136 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: have something for us too? And so yeah, She's like cool. 137 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: Nineteen eighty one opens that founds the Corpus Christian moment 138 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: for a priest basically combines the vocational aims of the 139 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,719 Speaker 1: missionaries of charity with the resources of the priesthood. So 140 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 1: by in nineteen eighty seven when she dies, her initial 141 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 1: thirteen member congregation in Calcutta had grown to have more 142 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: than four thousand sisters who managed aids, hospices, charity centers, 143 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: orphanages worldwide, cared for refugees, the blind, that disabled, the aged, 144 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 1: the poor, the homeless, the victims of epidemics, pandemics, famine, 145 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: flood so on and so forth. And you're thinking, wow, 146 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: Mother Theresa, super awesome. Helping the sick, helping the poor, 147 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: saves children in the middle of a war zone, picks 148 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: people off the street, cares for people in accordance to 149 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: their religious needs and medical needs, and all of this 150 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: sounds fantastic. She was promoted by the Vatican and the 151 00:10:54,600 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: UN and everyone else for being this amazing humanitarian doing 152 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: this because of her faith and her love of God 153 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: and her care for the poor. And you have no 154 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: idea how much I respect to this woman of my youth, 155 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: and how much I didn't want to believe. I remember 156 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: reading information about this many many years ago and about 157 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 1: a decade, and I'd heard things about this the decade 158 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: before that. And the first time I heard information in 159 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: my brain autom mother went, no, she's amazing. She's a humanitarian. 160 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: She couldn't let any of these things. And then the 161 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: second time, when I started studying social science and researching 162 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: the claims, then at home when I researched and researched, 163 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: and then I thought I would do it again. So 164 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: let's talk about this. Shall we an independent study? So 165 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: here we are. Mother Teresa dedicates her life to eradicating poverty, 166 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: gives up her twentieth century world of materialism. You know, 167 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,559 Speaker 1: she's there to help the destitute and the diseased, risking 168 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: her life for her missionary work. And she has such 169 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 1: wonderful quotes. Peace begins with a smile. She wins to 170 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: the Nobel Peace Prize again Operate. She has five hundred 171 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: and seventeen missions in one hundred different countries. But here's 172 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: the thing. Missionary work in itself, like historically, is generally 173 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: a form of intolerance and discrimination, usually white, generally wealthy individuals. 174 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: You know, they spend their lives dedicating it to involving 175 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: themselves in cultures that they know nothing about. How many 176 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: times have the missionaries gone to Africa to teach people 177 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: about the Lord or Jinnipero Serro, the Franciscan monk who 178 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: converted and informed the Native Americans? Do we not think 179 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: it's like a little bit coincidental that the main efforts 180 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: of these missionaries have generally of the last couple of 181 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 1: centuries focused on largely non white countries. Like we talk 182 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: about a white savior complex, and this is the definition 183 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: of a white savior complex. You know, the Church labels 184 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: these that these indigenous races and cultures and languages and 185 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: traditions are barbaric. Like obviously, back in the Crusades, you know, 186 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: all of this, the taking over was done by violent force, 187 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: and now it's generally a form of emotional black mail. 188 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: Mother Teresa was motivated by ministry and not by morality. 189 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: She publicly bragged about coercing vulnerable people into conversions on 190 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: their deathbeds. Even former members of our religious order of 191 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: the Missionaries of Charity came forward and saying that Theresa 192 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: couraged members to baptize dying patients without regard to the 193 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: individual's religion. One of the things they said, would they 194 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: want a ticket to heaven? And any sort of affirmative 195 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: reply was taken as a consent to baptism, and they 196 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: were not to inform them officially of it, because you know, 197 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: she's baptizing Hindus and muscle and you can say, oh, well, 198 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: maybe they want to be baptized, but these patients were 199 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: not provided appropriate and sufficient information for them to make 200 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: an informed decision but whether or not they want to 201 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: be baptized, and they may not even know the significance 202 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: of the Christian baptism. And there are also reports in 203 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: some of her homes that aid was refused aid and 204 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: help was refused to those who would not convert. I mean, 205 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: some people argue that force conversion is you know, morally 206 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: neutral or benevolent, but you're being disrespectful to the faith 207 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: of the dying and forcing a religious sacrament on them 208 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: without their consent and you can argue about babies don't 209 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: have consent. Yeah, but babies generally have the option when 210 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: they get bigger to you know, have their communion or 211 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: their confirmation, which the whole point of which is to 212 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: confirm their faith in God. This is an investigation in 213 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four. I'm not talking about the fifties or 214 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: the sixties, or the seventies or the eighties. We're talking 215 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: about the nineties, nineteen ninety four. So the home for 216 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: the dying is investigated, and the medical care is referred 217 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: to as haphazard. Quite a lot of them like had 218 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: zero So a lot of the you know, the sisters 219 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: of the order and the volunteers that were there didn't 220 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: have medical knowledge. They're the ones who made the decisions 221 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: best they can. So they're treating with medicine, and they're like, 222 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: I'll be calling doctors from time to time. Doctors were available, 223 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: Like for example, a patient with a fever was treated 224 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: with you know, parascenamal and antibiotics, only to be discovered 225 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: to have malaria by a visiting doctor who prescribed chloroquine. Like, 226 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: doctors were available, they just only brought them in every 227 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: now and again. Staff either so the volunteers as well, 228 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: so they couldn't distinguish between curable and incurable patients, and 229 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: investigations were really permissible, so there was a neglective diagnosis 230 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: the lack of analgesia, and basically the approach by Mother 231 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: Teresa was very separate to a hospice movement. So the 232 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: whole point is that you're supposed to have a lack 233 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: of pain. The purpose of our hospice is to give 234 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: you care and to ensure that you're passing is as 235 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: peaceful and painless as possible. And I'm not just saying 236 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,199 Speaker 1: this because I've been to a hospice more than one 237 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: occasion of my life. But the purpose is comfort and care. 238 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: There were other reports of other facilities where surringers would 239 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: be one under cold water and reused until they were blunt. 240 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: Terminal cancer patients would be given aspirin. The issue seems 241 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: to be that the missionary's practice was to care for 242 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: the sick by glorifying their suffering instead of relieving it. 243 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: Mother Theresa was quoted as saying that suffering brings people 244 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: closer to Jesus her faith. Her belief that suffering it 245 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: influenced her care more than her desire to help, and 246 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: she saw the struggle of people in poverty as admirable. 247 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: She likens it to Christ on the Cross, and in 248 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: the worst of all, she encourages and condones it. The 249 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: doctors who visited her houspices unsurprisingly appalled their conditions the stuff. 250 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: I mean, they weren't able to make distinctions between those 251 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: who were dying and those who had curable illnesses. I 252 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: mean we talked about in the fifties when she set 253 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,239 Speaker 1: up Permissions of Charity. Her home for the dying was 254 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: and I quote, where people who lived like animals could 255 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: come to die like angels, and that those in pain 256 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: were being kissed by Jesus. I mean, really, at the 257 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: end of the day, shouldn't she have brought when she 258 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: was dying? Why did she get such referential treatment. Shouldn't 259 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: she have gone to the home of the dying that 260 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 1: she so adored. She's some to think about, anyway. Reporters 261 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: went under cover in one of her orphanages and in 262 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: Cocatta and described the conditions as squalid, and that children 263 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: were tied to beds all day, lying in their own health, 264 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: and that the walls were adorned in pictures of maltuisa, 265 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: Please explain what the dignity Isn't that to me? If 266 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: any of you know what the dignity isn't that to me? 267 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. Mm hm. I am going to make 268 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: an apology now, I'm doing it on TikTok as well. 269 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: But one of the reports of her hospices compared it, 270 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: likened it to that of a concentration camp. And I 271 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 1: stated this in the tech talk video that I made, 272 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: and I am ignorant, and I'm incredibly sorry for any 273 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: Jewish people and people of Jewish descent that I offended 274 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: with that statement. It was not my intention. But five 275 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: people contacted me regarding that statement and compare and one 276 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: of this and one of the people who was talking 277 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: to me stated that they felt that such a comparison 278 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: was used to de legitimize the horrors of the Holocaust 279 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: and the situations they're in. And I completely understand. I 280 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: didn't think. I didn't think. I'm of Jewish descent. My 281 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 1: family are Jewish and they were very nonchalant. But that 282 00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that it doesn't deeply affect and hurt others. Yes, 283 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: and that's not an excuse, that's just me not taking 284 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: the time to consider out with my own bubble, and 285 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: that's on me, and that is my fault, and I 286 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: can only apologize. I am really sorry, and I can 287 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: only do my best and work to not make such 288 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: a comparison again, because that's not fair. And just because 289 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 1: something doesn't affect me directly doesn't mean it doesn't affect 290 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 1: other people. And fuck that. No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't 291 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: have said it. Back to Mother Teresa. Back to Mother Teresa. 292 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: So one of the thing that Mother Teresa states is 293 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: that God told her to help the poor whilst living 294 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: amongst them. However, in the do we call it the 295 00:21:55,160 --> 00:22:00,160 Speaker 1: peak of her career the But here's the thing she 296 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: she spent very little time in Kolkata. At the sort 297 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: of peak of her fame. She was jetting around country 298 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: to country rallying against divorce laws in Ireland. Ireland was 299 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: voting on a divorce referendum. In Mother Teresa go is 300 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,640 Speaker 1: that they says that the children of divorce will grow 301 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: up spiritually poor. You'd think that someone who spent their 302 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: life around people, the impoverished and the destitute would understand 303 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: the trauma and the pain that comes with intimate partner 304 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: violence or abuse in all its form. The next thing 305 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 1: you know, she's heading off to getting photographed to the 306 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: Princess Diana and suddenly being photographed with the victims of 307 00:22:53,920 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: industrial and natural disasters. Although mother Tresa said she was 308 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: a political for some reason, quite a lot of her 309 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 1: time during this hey was spent directly intervening with on 310 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 1: political affairs, like globally, like what, she wasn't living amongst 311 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: the poor, She wasn't spending her time with them at 312 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: this point. I mean, at this point she actually had 313 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 1: written letters saying she no longer had faith in God. 314 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: She spends time with the wretch and the elite and 315 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: not the impulverished figures. So she supports Luzio Gelli, who's 316 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: nominated for a Nobel Prize in literature, and this did. 317 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: He was known for being a propaganda specialist with ties 318 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 1: to the neo fascist movement in Italy and the military 319 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: junta who ruled during Argentina's last dictatorship. Mm hmm. When 320 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: the Prime Minister of India India or Gandhi, suspended civil 321 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: liberties in nineteen seventy five, otherwise known as the Emergency, 322 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: Marjoriesa said people were happier there were no jobs. There 323 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: are more jobs, there were no strikes, like yay for this, okay. 324 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: She receives money from the publisher Robert Maxwell, who embezzled 325 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty million pounds from his employees pension funds. 326 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: Charles Keating also an embezzler, bankruptcy, fraud, so on and 327 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 1: so forth, and also Charles de Valier. The de Value 328 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: family had a dictatorship in Haiti, and they lived in 329 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: luxury while their subjects suffered in poverty. They murdered in 330 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:56,360 Speaker 1: tortured political rivals and her drug traffickers. I oh, and 331 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 1: this wasn't a secret. This is something thing that was 332 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: clearly that was well known at the time. But Mother 333 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: Teresa said they were full of love and she received 334 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: funds from them too. Mother Theresa's missions of charity received 335 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: millions upon millions upon millions of dollars pounds in donations, 336 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: and very very few of that went to fund the 337 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: missions themselves. Fun fact, in India, where it was required 338 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: by law, the missionaries of charity refused to publish their 339 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: accounts and they were asked to do so. In Germany, 340 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: and they were like noney of business. The annual figures 341 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: of the Again, former members of the order came forward 342 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: and the annual figures of Missiony charity's income was about 343 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 1: in New York alone was about fifty million dollars, but 344 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 1: there is little to no evidence of expenditures. So in general, 345 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: you know, these services are you know, they rely on 346 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 1: donations and new missions that are generally set up after 347 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 1: that are supposed to become self sufficient. An investigation into 348 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: the funding suggested that the majority of the money that 349 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: she received was sent straight to the Vatican Bank. So 350 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: documents are published regarding the Vatican Bank. It revealed that 351 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 1: the funds that were being held in Mother Teresa's name 352 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: on behalf of her charity made her the bank's biggest client, 353 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: and that the money amounted two billions and had she 354 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: made the withdrawals, the bank would have risked default. Like 355 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 1: what and here's the thing, Like in the money that 356 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: she was receiving wasn't going to the people she was 357 00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: supposed to be helping. She seemed to be a friend 358 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: of polverready, not of the poor. So Mother Teresa as 359 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: a helper of the poor. Like and there's the thing. 360 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: I could go on and on and on, and I'm 361 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: trying to get I'm trying to keep this as succinct 362 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: as possible here. So when when Mother Teresa is seen 363 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: as a helper of the poor is misleading at best. 364 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 1: This public image is misleading at best. The missionaries of charity, 365 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: like in Kolkata, there were there, like say, for example, 366 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: during the time these at the end of her reign, 367 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 1: right there were two hundred charities of or charitable organizations 368 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: in Calcutta with only a couple hundred people being served 369 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: by like even the largest of the homes. But all 370 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: of the missions of charity, but say, for example, the 371 00:27:53,720 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 1: Assembly of God, we're serving like eighteen thousand people a day. Okay, 372 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 1: there were eight facilities in Papua New Guinea and at 373 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: the time there were like eight facilities in Papua New 374 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:12,640 Speaker 1: Guinea and they had zero residents in them. Why would 375 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: you need eight if you have zero residents. The funding, 376 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: it seems, instead of going into charitable works and to 377 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: providing care for the less fortunate, was channel to fund 378 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: missionary work or just siphoned straight into the Vatican Bank. 379 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: Here's the thing, Like a little lettery she talked about 380 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 1: how she no longer believed in God and all I 381 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: keep thinking of is if she no longer believed in God, 382 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: but she still cared for the poor or those are 383 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: they impoverished? Why didn't she use her notoriety to ensure 384 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: that the funding that was going to the Vatican was 385 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: being channeled back to those who needed it instead of 386 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: to the Vatican, because she could have used her humanitarian 387 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:11,479 Speaker 1: status to turn that back. It's just it's just something 388 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: that bothers me. But yeah, it seems to be that 389 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: Mother Teresa loved poverty more than she loved the poor, 390 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: and she was quoted as saying, I think it is 391 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: very beautiful for the poor to accept their lot to 392 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: share it with the passion of Christ. I think the 393 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: world is being much helped by the suffering of the 394 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: poor people. So Mother Teresa died on the fifth of 395 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: September in nineteen eighty seven. When Mother Teresa dies in Kolkata, 396 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: very few people came to visit her body and it 397 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: was left in a room for two days until moved 398 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: by her fellow missionaries. Her statel like funeral was attended 399 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 1: by approximately one hundred non missionaries and government officials, which 400 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: would suggest that her relationship with the people of Kolkatta 401 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: was more strained than was ever portrayed by the media, 402 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: by the church, by whatever. Pope John Paul the Second 403 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: waives the five year waiting list effectively for sainthood. You're 404 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: not just being on a saint. You have to provide 405 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: two miracles effectively. And apparently these so these were these 406 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: are dubious. I'm not saying that they're a miracle, but 407 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 1: but if you one day, I will talk about the 408 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: supposed miracles of saints, because some of them are actually 409 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: pretty funny and m hm. As someone who went to 410 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: Sunday school, let me tell you I have plenty. So 411 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: I just want it to be clear as well. Like so, 412 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: so you got canonized by Pope Francis, she's a saint. 413 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: What are we learn today faith and not be fanatical 414 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: and that we need to and we should be open 415 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: to discussions and fay about faith in religion and be 416 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: respectful as we can without infringing on each other's rights. 417 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: And that's the issue. Without infringing on each other's rights. 418 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: I'm not saying she didn't do good things, an ye, 419 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 1: Gonzie boy, as you Theresa of Calcutta, she was a 420 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:33,239 Speaker 1: real person. She was not perfect. She was flawed, She 421 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 1: doubted her faith, and ultimately she failed the very people 422 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 1: that she was hoping to help. Somewhere along the way, 423 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: she's strayed from her path. Whether this was unintentional or intentional, 424 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: I cannot say. But we have to be aware of 425 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: when faith becomes fanatical. And this isn't everything. This is 426 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: in religion, this is in politics, this is in environmentalism. 427 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: And furthermore, and frankly, at this point in human history, 428 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: with all we know, with everything we have access to, 429 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 1: we really should have matured past the glorification of this 430 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 1: colonialist guilt and bloody white supremacy. I generally believe that 431 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 1: we need to do better. And here's the thing. We 432 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: can say that we're doing this, that and the other. 433 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: I mean, if you can, if you have the ability to. 434 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: I am mentally drained after that one. I'm not gonna lie. 435 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: But that was this week's episode, recororded What Now? And 436 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: that was a heavy, heavy one. Yikes, Oh, I'm gonna 437 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 1: go have a hot chocolate now. And I think the 438 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: real lesson is don't put people on a pedestal and 439 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: don't believe that they're the be all and end all, 440 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: And I forget if you want to see more of 441 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 1: me or hear more of me, you want to see 442 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: more of me?
