As a person, it is widely believed that Mother Teresa was a unique juggernaut who championed the causes of the poor and cannot not be replaced.
In her capacity as Superior General of the Missionaries of Charity, Mother Teresa was replaced by Sister Nirmala Joshi. She was elected in 1997. Sister Nirmala grew up in India and was raised a Hindi, but converted to Catholicism after she learned of Mother Teresa's work in Calcutta. She holds a degree in political science and was trained as a lawyer before joining the order. In 2009, Sister Nirmala resigned as Superior General, citing health reasons, and Sister Mary Prema was elected her successor. Sister Prema is from Germany.
