I was very disturbed reading about whether or not St. Teresa is in Heaven, if she was a believer? I am trying to decide if this group is where I belong. I am a devout Catholic and most of that thread was Catholic bashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As her fame increased, her faith refused to return. Her smile, she said, was a mask. “What do I labor for?” she asked in one letter. “If there be no God, there can be no soul. If there be no soul then, Jesus, You also are not true.” According to her letters, Mother Teresa died with her doubts. She had even stopped praying, she once said. Mother Teresa had doubts. She, like so many people, had serious misgivings about the certainty of the existence of god. She felt lonely and sad because she could not feel his presence. Yet she carried on in her work and continued to hope that some day she would deeply feel the faith she professed to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be sure to read our statement of faith. We subscribe to 66 books of the Bible alone as being sacred. There are devout Catholics here but they are wise when they focus on the beliefs we hold in common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Faustina went through darkness as well but her faith shone through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
