Speaking of Mother Teresa, there is a movie coming out very soon about her. We have seen previews of it and it seems like it should be really good. The movie is "The Letters" and stars Juliet Stevenson as Mother Teresa.

@billybob : Do you know that Mother Teresa visited Peoria in 1995? She attended a Mass at St. Mary's and then stayed around to greet the people. Every visitor was gifted a small medal from her. As I recall no one was turned away. In the garden in front of St Mary's Cathedral you'll see a beautiful almost life sized statue of St. Teresa commemorating her visit. The sculpture was created by local artist Lonnie Stuart. Sorry my newly affirmed trolley tour guide self kicked in. ;-)
 
Here's a great article I found about her visit: www.thecatholicpost. com/post/PostArchive Article.aspx?Publica tionID=99&Artic
 
This is an even better article. An eye witness account of her visit in 1995. Great stuff!

@peoriapundit I think it would be more of embarrassment to be the first one in history to have to give it back.

I think he should keep it as a reminder to all of how fallible these things are.

Speaking of the Nobel prize, I do think Malala ' s prize was most deserved. I watched her acceptance speech in utter awe.

I recall when Mother Theresa was here. I actually went down to the cathedral to try and see her but it was super crowded and the weather was nasty, so I gave up.

"Trump seems to think he will be able to do as he sees fit. He doents seem to understand about courts, laws and the power of congress."
 
Sounds like Obama in that regard.
