What makes mother Teresa special or interesting?

A:

Mother Teresa was a much admired member of the Catholic Church, who built hospices in Calcutta and elsewhere, so that poor people could die with dignity. However, she had her faults and was perhaps not the truly great person portrayed by the Church publicity machine.

Apart from her admirable work for the poor, she also associated with autocratic rulers and allowed criminals to use her name and reputation to obtain money by deception. SF Weekly reports that when she had the opportunity to report a paedophile priest to the secular authorites, so that justice could be done, she failed to do so, even encouraging the Church hierarchy to return him to active ministry.

According to documents said to have been obtained by SF Weekly, Mother Teresa knew one of her favourite priests, Donald McGuire, was removed from ministry for sexually abusing a Bay Area boy in 1993. She urged that he be returned to work as soon as possible. The priest resumed active ministry, as well as his predatory habits. Eight additional complaints were lodged against him in the coming years by various families, leading to his eventual arrest on sex-abuse charges in 2005. Her actions delayed justice for Father McGuire's previous victims and led to the suffering of even more innocent young children.
