    In regards to Mother Teresa’s Nobel Peace prize, I remember in the late 1970s at the Catholic Church I attended we were encouraged to sign a petition that would put pressure on the prize committee to give the award to Mother Teresa. At the time I thought “Of course, she needs to be recognized for her work”. Sadly the intervening years have shown many of us the true story of this lady and her “good works”.
