Why did they want to build this elevator that Mother Teresa told them not to build?
The Americans with Disabilities Act requires that public accomodations be accessible to the disabled, including persons with mobility problems. Mother Teresa had plans to convert a building that had been donated to her order into a shelter for homeless men. Her order (which had $50,000,000 in one account in one US bank) 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" 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 -- "Look how humble we are! We're so humble we carry people up and down multiple flights of stairs rather than let them use an elevator!" -- was more important than allowing disabled persons some measure of independence and self-determination.

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.
