Why The Canonization of Mother Teresa Will Only Highlight Corruption In The Catholic Church

The Pope is reportedly going to be giving the okay to give sainthood to Mother Teresa. St. Teresa? Why not? She helped the poor and the sick, did she not? She devoted her life to the less privileged in India, no? She lived amongst the ailing and gave comfort to those in their last hours.

Right?

It would appear that way, yes. However, what was really going on was far more sinister, and deserving of nothing but our ridicule and criticism.

Don’t take my word for it, though. Here’s Penn, Teller and Christopher Hitchens:

Share this information far and wide, atheists.

MT [Mother Teresa] was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of poverty. She said that suffering was a gift from God. She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction. – Christopher Hitchens
