An inexplicable healing is the miracle that led to the proposed canonization of one of the most beloved nuns in the world. Last year, a committee of experts recognized that Mother Teresa cured in 2008, a Brazilian man with several tumors on the brain.

Teresa will soon be proclaimed holy, after the Church officially recognized a miracle attributed to the authenticity of the nun who dedicated her life to the poor.

Mother Teresa, famous for her devotion to the sick of a big city in eastern India, will be canonized on 4 September 2016 in Rome, at the “Jubilee Mercy” opened on 8 December.

Archbishop of Kolkata, Thomas D’Souza, announced that the Vatican has recognized that Mother Teresa cured a Brazilian from multiple brain tumors back in 2008.

A lot of the criticism of Mother Teresa is focused on the way her practice collided with the true needs of the poor people she helped. In some people’s eyes, especially in India, she is believed that she put fame and piety in front of her mission of aid.

Other critiques said she has been accused not offering the proper medical care, some of them calling her sting, of proselytizing, of not trying to alleviate those in suffering but rather claiming virtue from it and of promoting the efforts she made to the media which was eager for heroes.

Most of the scalding criticism actually comes from the people of her hometown, Kolkata, formerly known as Calcutta, a city where Mother Teresa devoted her life to those in need of help.

“Cities have identity. They have nuance. Because Mother Teresa became very famous and she won the Nobel Prize, Calcutta became very un-nuanced in the Western worlds’ minds,” criticized Banerji, a former citizen of the town. “Intentionally or not, I feel that she robbed Calcutta of a certain part of its identity.”
