How Mother Teresa operated worldwide

Per previous, once upon a time, someone whom I befriended volunteered for a year with Mother Teresa in Calcutta. I supported those efforts with many in-kind services (e.g., fund-raising, donations).

How was "Mom T" able to work in 100 countries, some of them Communist and anti-Catholic?

What I learned: she focused on hospice work. She did not make political statements, or criticized anyone, which would have led to confrontations.

Just focused on her hospice work for "the poorest of the poor."

IMHO, good advice. In this field, focus on caring. Politics and power are different issues.
