Are you serious? You do know who Charles Keating was, don't you?

He stole millions; he admitted it. The victims kindly asked for their property back from the MT and the MOC, who promptly ignored them.

If someone steals from innocent people and gives the money to a charitable organization, the charity is under a moral obligation to give it back. Would it be OK with you for someone to steal everything you own and leave you destitute, as long as they gave your money and property to "charity"?

This is what I'm talking about miss marmelstein. I've seen people bend themselves over backwards to excuse any blame whatsoever for the Keating and Duvalier fiascoes. It's a sight to see.

Actually, I was agreeing with you. When I was a teenager, I sent small amounts of money to MT’s organization in India. This was after watching Malcolm Muggeridge’s masterful documentary on her (which Hitchens mentions in his book). The film put her on the map (”Something Beautiful for God,”) I think it was called. But somewhere along the way, her fame was her undoing. She should have made restitution to the victims of Charles Keating and not taken blood money from the Duvaliers.
