Very simple.  Mother Theresa may have meant well when she started her work,
but then the media got their hands on her and being an ancient Albanian she
had no idea of how to deal with it.

As the adulation grew, she fed upon it and those who admired her and found
herself using her position as the Offical Saint of the Media to promote all
her favorite causes, such as the papacy, every dictatorship spawned in South
America, cozy up to Baby Doc in Haiti and even a few marxists along the way.

Christopher Hitchens called her right.  She became a ghoul in the most
literal sense, feeding off the energies of the dying to support her
pretentions of sanctity and managing to fool of lots of people in the process
who never bothered to look past the facade.
