Among the people who Mr. Hitchens puts in that category is Mother Teresa. It's pretty safe to say Mother Teresa would have been the first person to assist Mr. Hitchens if he should find himself in the situation you describe.
While, I often myself in agreement with Mr. Hitchens in this matter he is a hypocrit.
Hypocrite: "Actor. One who affects virtues or qualities he does not have." I don't see where Hitchens fits that definition "in this matter". Maybe you can explain it to me.
On the other hand, Hitchens sees where some others might fit that definition. What would be your definition of the sort of behavior mentioned here?:
"..Believers are likewise enjoined to abhor and eschew divorce, but they are not required to insist that a ban on divorce and remarriage be a part of the state constitution, as Mother Teresa demanded in a referendum in Ireland (which her side narrowly lost) in 1996.
Later in that same year, she told Ladies Home Journal that she was pleased by the divorce of her friend Princess Diana, because the marriage had so obviously been an unhappy one …
[MT took] misappropriated money from the atrocious Duvalier family in Haiti (whose rule she praised in return) and from Charles Keating of the Lincoln Savings and Loan.
Where did that money, and all the other donations, go?
The primitive hospice in Calcutta was as run down when she died as it always had been—she preferred California clinics when she got sick herself—and her order always refused to publish any audit.
But we have her own claim that she opened 500 convents in more than a hundred countries, all bearing the name of her own order.
Excuse me, but this is modesty and humility?
...Many volunteers who went to Calcutta came back abruptly disillusioned by the stern ideology and poverty-loving practice of the "Missionaries of Charity," but they had no audience for their story.
One of the curses of India, as of other poor countries, is the quack medicine man, who fleeces the sufferer by promises of miraculous healing.
Sunday was a great day for these parasites, who saw their crummy methods endorsed by his holiness and given a more or less free ride in the international press. ..."
