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.

Why did Mother Teresa not have enough money to carry out her intentions and her health condition was not good?
A:It is not really true that Mother Teresa did not have enough money to carry out her intentions. It was important in order to maximise the flow of donations that Mother Teresa's order always appear not to have enough money for the services it provided for the poor.Her facilities were designed not only to operate on a shoestring, but to appear to do so. An example of this was when Mother Teresa planned to convert a building in New York that had been donated to her order into a shelter for homeless men. Her order could easily have afforded to modify the building and install an elevator as required by state law, but refused. The City of New York offered to fund installation of the elevator, but "Mother" 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's ostentatious humility was more important than allowing disabled persons some measure of independence and self-determination.When Mother Teresa's own health began to fail, she attended renowned medical clinics in the United States, Europe, and India, where she went for modern and expensive treatment. When Mother Teresa died, her bedroom in the order's Motherhouse had been specially fitted out for her with costly and sophisticated cardiac equipment.
Where did Mother Teresa go to college?
She didn't attend college. She would have become a nun by the time she was going to college and also people of the time did not have enough money to go to college.
