Was Mother Teresa honest?

There are many shades of honesty, and even a saint should be subject to honest scrutiny.It is no doubt true that Mother Teresa was honest in that she never actually stole. It may be true that she never told a lie, although surely everyone does sometimes. Nevertheless, on these scores, we can say that Mother Teresa was surely honest.Christopher Hitchens says that money donated to help the poor and for Mother Teresa's hospices was instead used to open new convents and to undertake missionary work. If true, this claim shows Mother Teresa to have been far from honest. Money donated for the specific purpose of helping the poor and suffering must be used for that purpose, no matter how important Mother Teresa perceived her religious work to be. Collete Livermore, a former nun in Mother Teresa's order, appears to support Hitchens' assertion.
