As millions here watched Mother Teresa become Saint Teresa in an moving and memorable ceremony at the Vatican, her detractors too seemed to have gained traction, especially on social media.

Since the past few days, as the canonisation drew near, her critics were belting out opinions thick and fast. From pieces about her so-called questionable methods of treating the sick to the age-old accusation that she only treated the poor because she could convert them, allegations were flying thick and fast. The hashtag fraudteresa was trending on Twitter.
