Mother Teresa encountered litle or no resistance or opposition. Her very first hospice was established in a temple annexe building donated to the Missionaries of Charity for the purpose. Any resistance soon vanished as the temple accepted that the hospice was really established for a charitable purpose and not to undermine its own religious activities.
She faced some indirect resistance in New York, of all places. Mother Teresa planned to convert a building in New York that had been donated to her order into a shelter for homeless men, but was required by law to install an elevator if it would be housing disable persons. The Missionaries of Charity could easily have afforded to modify the building and install an elevator, but refused. The City of New York offered to fund installation of the elevator, but Mother Teresa still refused on the grounds that an elevator was a "luxury", and that the sisters of the order could easily carry disabled men up and down the stairs. Her order cultivated an image of ostentatious humility, incompatible with the secular requirement to ensure the safety and dignity of its inmates.
