Although Mother Teresa was beatified as a saint by the Catholic Church in 2003, in reality she was far from the saint the Church would lead you to believe. In fact, Mother Teresa isn’t even her real name; she was born Anjeze Gonxhe Bojaxhiu in Albania. The issues certainly don’t end with her pseudonym. Researchers today have called Mother Teresa an empty “PR ploy” by the Vatican to rehabilitate their tarnished image.

Mother Teresa’s claim to fame is helping poor around the world, but she did quite the opposite throughout her lifetime. Mother Teresa made niceties with right-wing Haitian Dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier and accepted money from him which had been stolen from Haiti’s poor. Duvalier was known for stealing millions from Haiti’s poor so that he could maintain his own lavish lifestyle. He spent $2 million of Haiti’s money to pay for his extravagant wedding. Duvalier also profited from drug trafficking and selling the body parts of deceased Haitians

1. Of course Mother Teresa

Is not her real name.

2. Yeah, that one made me roll my eyes

I've heard criticism of her before -- and much of it seems valid -- but calling "Mother Teresa" a pseudonym seems trivial and petty.

3. She always struck me as a ghoul, actually.

Maybe that's my prejudice against her type. What was it Christopher Hitchens called her again? An evil Albanian dwarf? Something like that, anyway.

4. Whoa!
