Mother Teresa spent forty years ministering to the poor and dying of Calcutta. Though she never directly challenged orthodox Catholic theology, her willingness to care for Hindus, Buddhists, and Muslims brought her criticism, especially since she never insisted on conversion to Christianity as a prerequisite to her service.

When asked why, she responded, “We treat all as children of God. They are our brothers and sisters. We show great respect for them.”
