Mother Teresa's work with the poor of India is well known, although somewhat exaggerated by the Catholic Church.

A perhaps unexpected incident in which she helped one particular person involved providing comfort and support to a paedophile priest. Documents said to have been obtained by SF Weekly suggest that Mother Teresa knew one of her favourite priests, Donald McGuire, was removed from ministry for sexually abusing a Bay Area boy in 1993, and that she nevertheless urged that he be returned to work as soon as possible. The priest resumed active ministry, as well as his predatory habits. Eight additional complaints were lodged against him in the coming years by various families, leading to his eventual arrest on sex-abuse charges in 2005. Her actions may or may not have been criminal in themselves, but it appears that by aiding a criminal in Father McGuire, she helped lead to the suffering of even more innocent young children.
