Mother Teresa does not simply give her reflections off the cuff on condom use & contraceptive failure. Mother Theresa took the counsel of a wise Priest who has given a considered letter on the subject at Mother Teresa’s request, Fr Lawrence Abello S.J., was at St Xavier’s College in Calcutta at the time of Blessed Mother Theresa’s request.
