Christopher Hitchens has the newly beatified Mother Theresa in his sights, in an essay at Slate and an interview at Secular Humanism. I've had a vague distrust of how truly 'good' she was based on the few stories coming from women who had worked with her in Calcutta and her few statements on the world stage. But as she seems to back the Pope's 'Lets go back to the Dark Ages' views it's no wonder he'll pick on the flimsiest excuses to get her made a saint before he croaks (in the Slate article Hitchens pours scorn on the 'miracle' Mother Theresa is supposedly responsibile for).
