But we are not trying to _make_ a case. It seems that you want to have a
trial on Mother Teresa, where you give the prosecutor's case, and someone
else is to do the defense case. We are not. We should say that there are
critics, and outline their points of criticism, but then in my opinion we
are done. There is no need to specify all kinds of proof for these criticisms.
That's not an encyclopedia's job. That's a job for a POV publication.
