Mother Teresa—Hells Angel a Saint?

At least the evening news (Newshub tonight) hinted not all think ‘Mother Teresa of Calcutta’ is deserving of sainthood (itself a totally bonkers and bizarre concept). I think Christopher Hitchens expressed it better than anyone: Hells Angel and “The fanatic, fraudulent Mother Teresa”.


“Christopher Hitchens investigates whether Mother Teresa of Calcutta deserves her saintly image. Probes her campaigns against contraception and abortion and her relationships with right-wing political leaders. Contributors include the cameraman who worked on the 1969 film `Mother Teresa of Calcutta' which was presented by Malcolm Muggeridge, the journalist Mihir Bose, and former volunteer Mary Loudon.”
