Christopher Hitchens allegedly did not interview one of mother Teresa's poor people that she cared for in his documentary. I'd trust the people in her care more than I'd trust him as far as how evil she is.
Bottom line is, I wonder how many quadriplegics, blind, deaf, homeless, hungry, or dying people that p*** and s*** themselves Hitchens cared for. I'm sure people could come up with all criticisms if we looked at his life.
Mother Teresa didn't have to leave the comfort of a convent to live with a bunch of smelly lepers in the worst of slums. She did it free of charge with no guarantee she would become so famous and eventually benefit financially from it.
Either way, she wasn't using the alms to live like a Queen. She was around the most repulsive, most forgotten, most hideous throw aways of society in the worst slums of the world, year after year. It's no wonder she began to lose faith. If you were constantly around the injured, the sick, the dying, the miserable, the lonely, the lunatics, the quadriplegics, and those who can't help but urinate and defecate themselves, I'm sure your faith would be shaken too.
Mother Teresa should have been more liberal with the morphine and feel good chemicals, but remember that morphine is also severely addictive. I'm not saying she made the right choice regarding who did and did not get modern addictive chemicals, but I don't see other people coming forward to care for those whom human nature despises the most.
Without Mother Teresa, many people would have died in a gutter with no love or dignity.
Mother Teresa made mistakes and was a sinner; but look at King David and the murder and adultery he was guilty of. I'm sure he made many mistakes and errors in judgment (and even human's rights abuses) and atrocities that are not contained in Scripture. Yet he is called "A man after God's own heart."
I wonder how many people, (less than 1% I'm assuming) would volunteer to live in the worst slums caring for the most unwanted like Mother Teresa did. It's easy for people to point the finger, but I wonder what they are doing for the poorest of the poor, the sickest of the sick?
One thing I can assure is this: Mother Teresa was a lot more kind to the poor and sick than God is! I don't see God lifting a finger to help them!
