More than 10 years after her death, Mother Teresa of Calcutta is still praised for being a world-renowned humanitarian. People of all faiths called her a “living saint” during her lifetime, and now think it’s inevitable that she be canonized.

No wonder the controversy churns when religious scholar and former religious brother Mark Michael Zima voices his doubts! Invite this outspoken researcher on-air to explore Mother Teresa’s words, deeds, virtues and vices, and to explain why the Vatican may be “rushing” toward a mistake. Zima will discuss the contradictions between Mother Teresa’s public and private writings. He’ll also explore whether the revered nun:

• Preached messages often incompatible with the Gospel of the Church — and more in line with the teachings of Hindu gurus.

• Did NOT try to convert people to Christianity. Did that violate the Church’s missionary mandate?

• Misinterpreted the Bible, taught non-Catholic theology, and may have even been an idolater. Did she undermine the Church on issues like abortion, Hell, sin and salvation?

• Is associated with only questionable miracles.

• Was probably more social worker than saint. She merely received more publicity and notoriety!

Zima will also share why he’s driven to share this information and how he’s tried to convince the Vatican.
