SynopsisRecipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, feted by Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and the House of Windsor, and eulogized throughout the world's media, Mother Teresa of Calcutta has entered that most select of sanctums: the house of living saints., Recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, feted by politicians, the Church and the world's media, Mother Teresa of Calcutta appears to be on the fast track to sainthood. But what, asks Christopher Hitchens, makes Mother Teresa so divine?, In a frank expose of the Teresa cult, Hitchens details the nature and limits of one woman.s mission to the world.s poor. He probes the source of the heroic status bestowed upon an Albanian nun whose only declared wish is to serve God. He asks whether Mother Teresa.s good works answer any higher purpose than the need of the world.s privileged to see someone, somewhere, doing something for the Third World. He unmasks pseudo-miracles, questions Mother Teresa.s fitness to adjudicate on matters of sex and reproduction, and reports on a version of saintly ubiquity which affords genial relations with dictators, corrupt tycoons and convicted frauds.

assuming the position
A realistic look at a very poisoned mind and how religion poisons everything. As with Islam there seems to be a prohibition on taking a critical look at Mother Theresa. Nothing is sacred and this book shows why that is how it should be.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
