Indian authorities says today they have sealed a home run by Mother Teresa's religious order and charged a nun and one other person with baby trafficking.

Pope Francis proclaims Mother Teresa a saint, hailing her work with the destitute of Kolkata as a beacon for mankind and testimony of God's compassion for the poor.

Pope Francis formally approves sainthood for Mother Teresa and set September 4 as the date for her canonisation.

Pope Francis recognises a second miracle attributed to Mother Teresa, clearing the way for the Roman Catholic nun to be made a saint next year.

Sister Nirmala, the nun who succeeded Mother Teresa as the head of a charity in the Indian city of Kolkata (Calcutta) dies aged 81.

There is an outrage in India over a Hindu leader's comment that Mother Teresa's charity work has one objective - to convert the poor to Christianity.
