Mother Teresa At The 1994 Prayer Breakfast

In February 1994 (almost twenty years ago) Mother Teresa spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast.  I remember watching this shortly after the breakfast with some pro-life friends.  We cheered, for she literally spoke truth to power.  The key point was driven home from 13:30 to 13:57.  At that point the camera pans out when the applause is at the loudest.  Only the Clintons and the Gores sit still and silent, like zombies.  I sure hope their consciences were pricked, if only for a few moments.

Below is the 1994 address in its entirety.

Mother Teresa At The 1994 Prayer Breakfast

I remember watching the video of this.  The Clintons and the Gores were in attendance.  When Mother Teresa pronounced her words (at the 14:37 mark), "I think the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion," they stared in stoney silence.  No wonder, as she told them - straightforward - that they were advocating not only the murders of babies, but the destruction of any basis for peace and justice.  Would that the bishops and clergy of today had the clarity and fortitude of this woman (some do, but their numbers are way too few at this time).  Click here if you cannot see embedded video.
