Final Word On Mother Theresa & Catholic Church
http://slate.msn.com/id/2090083/
Man, best deconstruction of a myth, and indictment of a monstrous institution I've ever read. Ayn Rand did a good job in the 60's on the ol' Inquisitors, but this tops it. Hitchens can be a pompous bore at times, but he gets an A+ here. My apologies to Muhammad Ali for calling him the "most overrated person" ever. BTW, I graduated from a 4 year Catholic HS, here in Brigham Young's backyard! [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] Raised Episcopalian, tho. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] |

Re: Final Word On Mother Theresa & Catholic Church
The article just skims the surface of the true nature of MT. One thing I don't get is why Hitchens expects the Church to be anything other than it has proven itself to be beyond any doubt these last 1600 or so years?
Oh, and "BTW, I graduated from a 4 year Catholic HS, here in Brigham Young's backyard! Raised Episcopalian, tho. " So that explains it. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] |

I am the One, Orgasmatron, the outstretched, grasping hand. My image is of Agony, my servants rape the land. Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain; two thousand years of misery, and torture in My name. Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the Law. My Name is Religion; sadistic, sacred, whore. - Motorhead |
