Christopher Hitchens on Mother Teresa

Short compilation of Christopher Hitchens' criticisms of Mother Teresa.

Damn, the dude named the book "the missionary position" 😂, he was out for blood on that one

Hitchens is 100% correct. In 2004 I spent two months volunteering in Mother Teresa’s ‘Prem Dam’ (House of the Dying). It was like being in Auschwitz instead of a centre to treat the sick. No doctor, no nurses but nuns with no medical experience and no intention to administer any medical treatment. One shaver for over 100 men to share, no pain killers, antibiotics, etc. Hitchens is correct in saying that if you haven’t been to Calcutta (Kolkata) then you have no idea about what went on and sadly still does. My channel ‘Oncall21’ shows a 7 minute document that I filmed with a hidden camera. I’ll never set foot in a Catholic Church ever again.

Pinkerton was completely outclassed here. And it's absolutely hilarious he calls nuns feminists.

This Pinkerton guy was incredibly out of his depth. Anyone a fan of the pope has by definition a lack in critical judgement

[mythgreatbritain]

Didn't take that long for pinkerton to be forgotten....but the great Christopher Hitchens name lives on.

[alexbaxter]

This is a great example of how people who have a criticism or argument against whatever Hitchens' believes, never seem to have an actual point

[johnhalverson]

Hitch never gets upset. Just eloquently addresses the accusation.

[karenschroeder]

Love Christopher..he is so thoughtful in his responses. So sad he is not here.

[louisdawes]

For someone to say an old catholic nun is a symbol of female empowerment is complete lunacy

[acesovernines]

Christopher Hitchens - they just don't make them like him anymore

[lazloholt]

"He did not write his memoirs and in my judgement could not have read them either."
F-ing savage

She wasn’t a saint but cruel and fanatical. As an Indian i am ashamed that we call her a saint.

[ClementGreen]

'I've never heard such concentrated nonsense in my whole life': we love you Christopher!

[riftster]

Best thing about Hitchens was when foolish or arrogant people asked him for receipts. Oh he's got them - memorized, factually accurate, and in order of importance and occurrence...

[AlistairClive-vzdh]

Thank you Mr Hitchens for exposing this horrible woman.

[kazkk]

I love his expose of mother Teresa. He was brave

[chrisAclaes]

The guest opposite Hitchens referring to anti-contraceptive nuns as feminist role models was truly something.

[cdcanada]

She has been exposed by many more authors now. She was a twisted monster.

[cshubs]

Hitch's smile as he began to respond to the reporter was exquisite. He was like, "I've got a few things to say to this poor, young, naive, ignorant man."

[marspp]

She was the Jimmy Savile of religion.

Pinkerton is stuttering because he hasn’t actually got anything to say. He’s a typical believer “I know it’s true, so I don’t actually have to evidence it. Because I BELIEVE!””
