Two thing bother me about this (not the post, but the Mother T. story!) First, all this info is from her confessor which is supposed to be private. What business is it of his to publish this stuff? Two, I don't know the context of any of her letters to him. This was her extremely private spiritual struggle, not meant for others to consume for their entertainment. For someone who did not feel the presence of God, she certainly behaved and acted more like a saint than any of us miserable sinners. RIP in the heart of God, Mama T. you deserve it more than anyone else.
