Default Mother Teresa - A Bad Catholic?

Oh oh!

Hey Maxprop it's getting worse:

One of Mother Teresa's volunteers in Calcutta described her "Home for the
Dying" as resembling photos of concentration camps such as Belsen. No
chairs, just stretcher beds. Virtually no medical care or painkillers beyond
aspirin, and a refusal to take a 15-year-old boy to a hospital. Hitchens
adds, "Bear in mind that Mother Teresa's global income is more than enough
to outfit several first class clinics in Bengal. The decision not to do
so... is a deliberate one. The point is not the honest relief of suffering,
but the promulgation of a cult based on death and suffering and subjection."

Then Hitchens notes that Mother Teresa "has checked into some of the finest
and costliest clinics and hospitals in the West during her bouts with heart
trouble and old age."
