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."


I read the Hitchens story in Vanity Fair, MT was a real piece of work,
but Catholics need their icons, no?

So does the left wing, apparently.

If you read any of Hitchens' work you'ld realize he definitely wasn't your
typical "leftist", he was/is a supporter of the war in Iraq.
