"What is needed from the supporters of this very confident faith is more self-criticism and less self-pity and self-righteousness" -Christopher Hitchens
At least Hitchens was consistent.
I'm reasobnly sure it followed the lines of his many Down-With-Mother-Teresa magazine articles: it evidently wasn't enough to derail the canonization process.
I spent almost 2 decades admiring, often disagreeing with, but usually enjoying Hitchens' writings. Although he had a hodgepodge of knowledge as well as loads of style, he was at best sophomoric --- and at worst, snake-mean and turkey-stupid--- abou Mother T or anything to do with Catholicism. I'm mentining this only because. in the hundreds of venues that were open to Hitchens' anti-Teresa venom, the most surprising must the Vatican itself, which was admirably open to whatever he had to say.
I'll go into greater detail to anyone who asks!
If I were the Judge--- which thanks be to God I'm not--- I'd handcuff Hitchens (d. 2011) to Pope Innocent III (d. 1216) in purgatory. They'd about deserve each other. At the end, salted, dry-roasted and saved, they'd enter heaven friends, and merrily, thanks no doubt to Mother T's prayers, and ours.
Y'all can pray for me, too, in case they have three-person shackle sets. I'll bring the popcorn.
