Musket, I can't figure out what "boutique Christian" means, so I don't know what to think of the label.

As I've said, I'm not a great fan of Mother Teresa, but I think the Hitchens video attempting to smear her was grossly unfair. It presented very limited information couched in inflammatory language, in the language of propaganda. I couldn't figure out how Hitchens would know all this stuff, or why he would care. But hatred of Mother Teresa seems to have become a rallying cry for the militant atheists. I can't really see what they expect to accomplish by their campaign.

Seems to me that she was a well-intentioned person who tried to do her best with limited resources to care for the sick and dying of India. If somebody else could do it better, why didn't they? If she was doing something wrong, why didn't the Indian authorities prosecute her?

And dare I say I find it interesting that this campaign against Mother Teresa seems based in the United Kingdom, a nation not known to have been particularly benevolent toward the Indian subcontinent?
