Thanks for the additional links Sam! I e-mailed Aroup Chatterjee quite a whilst ago, seems the web site now has a lot more information posted! Hitchens does tend to come across as a bit of an arrogant prick, but its difficult to imagine who else would've had the balls to write a book like that, especially in exposing a "saint" of the politically powerful and media dominant RCC and naming her what she really was - a charlatan and crook. She was no 'saint' because of any high virtue in helping, or morally giving to humanity, or raising it to a higher level materially, socio-economically, or spiritually, but because she was/is a myth created by global media networks and the Vatican. The Papacy, as you may know, has had centuries to create and perfect its plethora of bleeding 'saints', 'Madonna's, 'miracle's 'relics', 'holy texts' and 'visions' et al - from its gigantic and proliferate forgery mill to manipulate the superstitious and gullible. The good book tells me that the 'devil' and his all 'ministers' can be transformed into "ANGEL(s) of LIGHT" - many therefore, who are worshipping and supporting these Vatican "saints" and et al, are blind to the fact they are giving homage to 'devils' ... "For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles".Revelation 16:14 BTW - as an aside - did you know when that chap in England wrote 'Hitler's Pope' last year - the book was at once recalled and pulped because of a book-binding "accident" - pages were printed out of order! But I think its managed to resurface again? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Samantha L." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, June 25, 2000 10:10 AM Subject: Re: [CTRL] Mother Teresa > David - > > Yes, Christopher Hitchens isn't the only source for such info - in fact, he > so deeply offends some people that when I have a discussiion about Mother > Teresa, I usually don't mention his work. > > One of MT's former Sisters of Mercy (Sister Virgin/Susan Shields) has > written about her nine-year experience.
