…but why reduce her to a money-grubbing cult leader?

My first reaction exactly.

+ I agree with the above comments as well.

+ I don’t think being Catholic should be part of the issue on Blessed Teresa. She influenced all people, secular or not. I think that’s the key, and Winter (in Chatterjee’s intro) admits it: “The world it seems needs fairy tales.” We all need role models, real or not, to inspire us to become the best that we can/want to be.
