Steve Shaw, your opinion of Mother Teresa and her operation is harsher than that of Christopher Hitchens. Why is that?
One could line-item all of the summaries I read and explain most of them on the basis of her faith and her beliefs, rather than ascribing them to evil.
I have no dog in this hunt- I am not Catholic and fairly anti-religion as she is spoke - but I must say that a good many of the 'crimes' she is accused of aren't much different from the dictates I heard, growing up. Ignorance, to me, is the ultimate crime; I don't know how much education Teresa had but I do know that there are churches, like the Amish, who prize and trust ignorance above all.
