MOTHER TERESA is being fast tracked for the ultimate honour by the Vatican 'saint factory'. Christopher
Hitchens, one of her
trenchant critics, had produced a TV documentary about her called Hell’s
Angel (1994) and wrote the book The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and
Practice (Verso 1998) where he dismissed her as a religious
fundamentalist. Interestingly, the
Hitchens summarised his objections yesterday
(2 Jan 03) in the Mirror
( - M Teresa received millions of pounds in
charity, some of it from dubious sources like the Duvaliers of Haiti and
swindler Charles Keating. She never built any hospitals but claimed to have
built some 150 convents. Was this what the money was for? - She seems to have spent more time travelling and posing with the rich and famous than treating the sick & lepers. - To her, contraception and abortion were
not just immoral but threats to world peace! -
When she was sick, she made sure of being treated at top
