Quote:I see you've immersed yourself in Christopher Hitchens, and his fervent opposition to her and her faith. Most people feel differently.Yes. Quite specifically, they feel, rather than think - Mother Teresa does have that effect.
Sharp criticisms of the squalor of conditions in her hospitals have been published in The Lancet and the British Medical Journal. Former nuns have complained about the anti-medical bias in her belief, including very elementary, easily solved issues of sanitation and contagion. Mother Teresa herself has been abundantly clear that her organization is about Christ, and *not* about medicine. Their suffering is holy, and they are to be delivered unto Christ - curing their worldly wounds is secondary at best, irrelevant at worst.
Incidentally, I've never read that particular book of Hitchens', though it certainly sounds interesting.
