She campaigned for ideas that the Pope supported, including the outlawing of divorce in Ireland, making (or keeping) birth control and abortion illigal, and here role in the Valdez Oil Spill, which Shell (I believe) was responsible for: "Forgive! Forgive!", was her answer. Her hands were VERY dirty, but not from a "good" fight.
For the real story of Bojaxhiu, read Christopher Hitchins’ book, The Missionary Position (pictured below).
Exactly! I have no clue where people get this idea that she was some kind of caring, generous lady. She was a crazed fanatic who was obsessed with suffering.
