This quote is particularly interesting:

In 2012, William Doino Jr, wrote that "The remarkable thing about Hell's Angel is that it purports to defend the poor against Mother Teresa's supposed exploitation of them, while never actually interviewing any on screen. Not a single person cared for by the Missionaries speaks on camera. Was this because they had a far higher opinion of Blessed Teresa than Hitchens would permit in his film? Avoiding the people at the heart of Teresa's ministry, Hitchens posed for the camera and let roll a series of ad hominem attacks and unsubstantiated accusations, as uninformed as they were cruel."




I afraid we stray from the topic, but yes, i'm not either one for Hitchen's obvious ideology-based vendetta against Catholicism in general and Mother Teresa in particular. Having witnessed first hand the Sisters of Mercy at work in rural Africa where no-one except these proselytes of Mother Teresa thought it worthwhile to take in orphans, lepers, old people without relatives and give them food, shelter, life in fact. Not an atheist in sight.
