  • For those of you who are not familiar with the story.  Dr Coomaraswamy was one of the early pioneers in the fight for traditional Catholicism.  He corresponded with Mother Teresa because some of his own family members were being pulled in by the Novus Ordo revolution.  He corresponded with Fr. Wathen in the early days.  I do not know the dates of these two letters.  Mother Teresa did not respond with her own opinion, but rather had a "theologian" respond to Dr. Coomaraswamy.

    Very interesting, thanks OAB, I hadn't seen that before.

    On the subject of Mother Teresa, I recall when I was in the seminary in 1988 being told that Pope JPII sent Mother Teresa to Econe to persuade ABL not to consecrate bishops against the will of the Holy Father, but he refused to even meet her so inappropriate was such a manoeuvre. Can anyone shed any light on the truth or otherwise of this story? I've never subsequently seen any account of it anywhere, and I don't think it gets a mention in Bishop Tissier's biography... makes me wonder if I didn't dream it up!!!
