Mother Teresa Criticized

Christopher Hitchens is a left wing Jew and atheist who writes very well about political and cultural issues. His brother, Peter inclines to the right and is a writer too. His view of MT seem to be reasonable in the main and based on fact. There is, naturally an agenda. The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa In Theory And Practice is criticised but most reviews are favourable.

These points arise from Mr Hitchens interview with Free Inquiry magazine, Volume 16, Number 4. Stating his position is not the same as agreeing with it.
