Download The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice AudioBook Free
"A religious fundamentalist, a politics operative, a primitive sermonizer, and an accomplice of worldly secular power. Her mission has always been of this kind. The irony is the fact she's never had the opportunity to stimulate anybody to believe her. It really is overdue that she was duly honored and considered at her expression." Among his many books, perhaps none of them have sparked more outrage than The Missionary Position, Christopher Hitchens's meticulous study of the life and deeds of Mother Teresa. A Nobel Calmness Prize receiver beatified by the Catholic Cathedral in 2003, Mother Teresa of Calcutta was celebrated by minds of condition and adored by thousands and thousands for her work on behalf of the poor. In his measured critique, Hitchens asks only that Mother Teresa's reputation be judged by her actions - not the other way around. With quality élan and rhetorical dexterity, Hitchens eviscerates the fawning cult of Teresa, recasting the Albanian missionary as a spurious, despotic, and megalomaniacal operative of the wealthy who long compared measures to get rid of poverty, and fraternized, for profit, with tyrants and white-collar scammers throughout the world.
