Mother Teresa Declared Saint by Pope Francis(bbc.co.uk) |
In 2003, Pope John Paul II approved the beatification of
Mother Teresa. At the time, Christopher Hitchens called
Mother Teresa “a fanatic, a fundamentalist, and a fraud,”
arguing that “even more will be poor and sick if her
example is followed.” On Sept. 4, 2016, Pope Francis will
canonize Mother Teresa. Hitchens’ original essay is
republished below.
