I love Hitchens. Intelligent far beyond me, and his skepticism is spot on.

M. Teresa is a big hypocrite for accepting awards and money from despots, unless there's some Catholic doctrine that allows nuns and priests to deal with characters like that. On behalf of the Lord, probably.

I just got done with providing end of life care to Tom, and the conditions of the hospital for dying people are deplorable. Not all dying people are in a lot of pain. But everyone should have an evaluation by a medical professional each day to check if they require meds for anything. Palliative care is so individual. And using dirty needles for IV drops is beyond the pale.

Hitchens gives good evidence for the "Mother Teresa Personality Cult." That's how I see her. Her stance on abortion, and especially anti-birth control, is the Catholic doctrine. That is a cruel measure to inflict upon those in poverty.
