Hillary's Campaign Removes Mother Teresa Image
The Clinton campaign removed an image of Hillary Clinton with Mother Teresa
from a campaign video in response to a complaint from the late nun's
religious order.
Joseph Cella, president of the politically conservative Catholic group
Fidelis, said he brought the video to the attention of Sister Nirmala,
Teresa's successor as the Superior General of the India-based Missionaries
of Charity, The Politico reported.
Cella said it was "wholly inappropriate, disrespectful and disturbing that
Hillary Clinton shamelessly exploited Mother's image as a political tool."
Cella disclosed that in his letter to Nirmala, "We pointed out that the use
of Blessed Teresa's image was particularly inappropriate and disturbing
given Sen. Clinton's staunch support of abortion both here in the United
States and abroad.
"Mother Teresa tirelessly fought to protect unborn children, while Hillary
Clinton staunchly supports abortion on demand in all nine months of
pregnancy, including partial birth abortion and taxpayer funding of
abortion."
Clinton spokesman Phil Singer said: "Sen. Clinton was proud to have worked
with and known Mother Teresa. Her order asked us to remove it from the
video, so we did."
