The stories that Christopher Hitchens told about Mother Teresa were largely made up. For example, the reason that her hospices didn’t give opiate painkillers to their patients wasn’t a belief that poor people deserve to be in pain … it was that they weren’t doctors, so they could not legally possess opiates. India has drug laws too!
Even ceding that, she still defended convicted sexual predators. The whole Catholic church is essentially a rogue nation shielding pederasty across the globe. Anyone they would canonize is suspect in my view.
