During his 26-year papacy, John Paul II elevated 483 individuals to
sainthood, reportedly more saints than any previous pope. One personage
he beatified but did not live long enough to canonize was Mother
Teresa, the Roman Catholic nun of Albanian origin who had been wined
and dined by the world's rich and famous while hailed as a champion of
the poor. The darling of the corporate media and western officialdom,
and an object of celebrity adoration, Teresa was for many years the
most revered woman on earth, showered with kudos and awarded a Nobel
Peace Prize in 1979 for her humanitarian work and spiritual inspiration.
What usually went unreported were the vast sums she received from
wealthy and sometimes tainted sources, including a million dollars from
convicted savings & loan swindler Charles Keating, on whose behalf she
sent a personal plea for clemency to the presiding judge. She was asked
by the prosecutor in that case to return Keating's gift because it was
money he had stolen. She never did.[1] She also accepted substantial
sums given by the brutal Duvalier dictatorship that regularly stole
from the Haitian public treasury.
