摘要
The impact of Mother Teresa's work has no religious or geographical boundaries. In the four parts of this text, we try to understand this phenomenon. We first present the method used to collect the available information and then discuss a few biographical considerations to clarify her mission and the media's contribution to her popularity. The third part identifies four stumbling blocks on her way to canonization: her rather dogmatic religious views, her way of caring for the sick, her political choices, and her suspicious management of funds that she received. Fourth, we discuss some elements of her life related to beatification, including her night of faith, the exorcism to which she was subjected as well as the validity of the miracle attributed to her. In conclusion, we question why the criticism of which she has been the target has been ignored by the Vatican. L'impact de l'OEuvre de Mere Teresa n'a pas de frontieres geographiques ni religieuses. Dans les quatre parties de ce texte, nous tentons de comprendre ce phenomene. Nous presentons d'abord la methode utilisee pour colliger les informations disponibles, puis nous evoquons quelques reperes biographiques qui permettent de comprendre sa mission et la contribution des medias a sa popularite. La troisieme partie identifie quatre pierres d'achoppement sur le chemin de sa canonisation: son opinion religieuse plutot dogmatique, sa maniere de soigner les malades, ses choix politiques et sa gestion douteuse des montants d'argent qu'elle a recus. Quatriemement, nous abordons quelques elements de sa vie relatifs a sa beatification, dont sa << nuit de la foi >>, l'exorcisme dont elle a ete l'objet ainsi que la validite du miracle qui lui a ete attribue. En conclusion, nous nous interrogeons sur les raisons pour lesquelles les critiques dont elle fait l'objet ont ete ignorees par le Vatican.
