Wrong Mother Teresa. The article was about Mother Maria Theresia, who was born in 1830, not Mother Teresa of Calcutta, the one Hitchens bashed.

You were so eager to crap on this thread you didn’t even read the article.

I wasn’t talking about the woman in the OP. Neither was Hitchins. I was talking about the whole concept of beautification and sainthood. We are all called “the saints” in His word. And his word makes no distinction whatsoever between people regarding their standing with our Lord and Savior other than to divide us into two groups: saved and unsaved. Sheep and goats.

It’s very simple and one of the wonders of His message and the Gift of God. I look to no man other than my risen Savior. Others can be good teachers, examples, etc. but they are all ultimately mere sinners like me. Even guys in fancy robes and funny hats.

You said I’m no fan of Christopher Hitchins (to put it mildly) but he’s exposed that woman pretty well.

Hitchens wrote a book specifically denouncing Mother Theresa of Calcutta: "The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice." If he wasn't referring to Mother Teresa, and you were not referring to Mother Teresa by stating that Hitchens "exposed that woman pretty well" then who are you and Hitchens referring to?
