Shame #FRAUDTERESA

It is really Saddening to see the twitter trend #FRAUDTERESA
Is this some joke???
She has helped poor and differently-abled people tremendo~usly during her life, and the work is being carried on by her disciples. A humble down to earth woman who came to India and offered her help all for free. We rarely did appreciate such an individual but when she is getting the honor she clearly deserves, it is wrong to deplore her.
Miracle or not...this wonder lady dared to touch lepers with her bare hands and give them food, clothing and shelter when the word itself was taboo. Not many of us know that at one point in time she was at loggerheads with the Vatican, because her own ideology of salvation, which was not accepted as per Vatican protocol. So what if she converted? So what if she found India as a destination where people can be easily obliged due to apathy? It's time to look inside.
I guess the reason for this upsetting trends is objection to her activities of conversion. I am not sure if she did it or not. All I know is that she was kind to strangers, which is something I would never have the courage to do. It takes a lot of courage to spend entire life serving humanity!
I don't endorse making anyone a godman or a godwoman.... but to take a dig at someone and to deprecate their noble deeds, in the off-chance that they may have had ulterior motives? Shame......!!!!!!
Regardless of why Saint Teresa served people, she helped real, living and breathing people who needed help, as opposed to the conservative fanatics who are calling out against her on the basis of abstract concepts like motives and morality.
What I personally believe is that your actions should translate into what you are. Deep down we are both moral and immoral.....It is hence your actions, that should define you.
Motives don't directly affect the world. You can be the nicest person who doesn't do shit to society.... !!!!!!!
Doing the right thing for the wrong reasons is far better than the alternative. The dying souls needed help and physical care. Ideas like secularism and morality didn't come to their help. So shut your face.
It is outrageous that this hashtag has even surfaced! Shame.
