A new exposé of Mother Teresa shows that she—and the Vatican—were even worse than we thought

First Christopher Hitchens took her down, then we learned that her faith wasn’t as strong as we thought, and now a new study from the Université de Montréal is poised to completely destroy what shreds are left of Mother Teresa’s reputation. She was the winner of the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize, was beatified and is well on her way to becoming a saint, and she’s universally admired. As Wikipedia notes: [She was] named 18 times in the yearly Gallup’s most admired man and woman poll as one of the ten women around the world that Americans admired most. In 1999, a poll of Americans ranked her first in Gallup’s List of Most Widely Admired People of the 20th Century . In that survey, she out-polled all other volunteered answers by a wide margin, and was in first place in all major demographic categories except the very young. The criticisms of Agnes Gonxha, as she was christened, have been growing for a long time. I wasn’t aware of them until I read Christo...

The man who coined the slogan ‘Quit India’: Remembering Yusuf Meherally

The socialist freedom fighter was Mumbai’s mayor when the Congress intensified the freedom movement 75 years ago on this day. Courtesy: Yusuf Meherally Centre Who coined the iconic slogan “Quit India”, the rallying cry of a movement for freedom launched this day 75 years ago? Contrary to popular belief, it was not Mohandas Gandhi. Gandhi kick-started the Quit India movement on August 8, 1942, at the All India Congress Committee meeting in Mumbai’s Gowalia Tank Maidan. He also infused it with the spirit of his phrase “do or die”. Over the following few months, freedom fighters across India responded with waves of civic rebellion, despite the arrest of Gandhi and other leaders, and violent backlash from the British authorities. But the “Quit India” slogan is credited to another Congress leader, Yusuf Meherally, who is said to have come up with the phrase at a meeting of Gandhi’s close associates in Mumbai some time before the launch of the movement. At the time, 39-y...

Whales Dying From Plastic Pollution Are a Grave Reminder to Give Up Our Addiction to Plastics

Two sperm whales lie dead on Germany’s North Sea coastline. Their stomachs were full of plastic. Photo: Facebook Plastic pollution in our oceans has become an issue that can’t be avoided any longer. With the number of whales dying from plastic pollution on the rise (not to mention many other marine animals), we must face our plastic addiction head on. Plastic pollution is not only impacting our waters and marine life, but also the human food chain, and our overall health. How do we plan on living healthfully if we treat our oceans with so much disrespect? We are now producing over 300 million tons of plastic every year, half of which is for single use . More than 8 million tons of plastic is dumped into our oceans every year. Plastic bags are one of the worst, with around 500 billion plastic bags being used annually. More than one million bags are used every minute . Once plastic pollution ends up in the ocean, it becomes entangled on the bo...
