Hitchens definitely had his problems, but critiquing Mother Teresa for all the absolute shit she did was not one of them. Because of his proximity to the other horsemen and as a result of some of his other views, I was expecting for there to be some major issues here.

But it's a good starting point for anyone who wants directions in critiquing the harms and impacts of Mother Teresa or, in general, the church system that supported her bullshit.
