As far as I can tell, James is taking the position that we should refer
to her as "Blessed Mother Theresa," because this is the title officially
conferred upon her by the Catholic Church. This is what I'm disagreeing
with--I have no problem at all referring to her as "Mother Theresa", and
would in fact have a problem with *not* using the "Mother" title in that
case, since it's the most common way to refer to her in English. So in
short, I agree with the article in its current form (with "Blessed"
moved towards the end of the first paragraph), and am proposing that
other articles (such as Charles, Prince of Wales, which currently starts
off "His Royal Highness") be modified in a similar manner.
