Rezensionen

The missionary position : Mother Teresa in theory… von Christopher Hitchens

Diese geldgeile, vertrocknete alte Hexe hat, anstatt zu helfen, gemeinsam mit Diktatoren einen auf dicke katholische Hose gemacht, Geld von Verbrechern genommen, es gehortet und gebetsmühlenartig katholischen Unfug von sich gegeben, als sie Bedürftigen helfen sollte. Sie hat Niemandem auch nur ein Fünkchen Gutes angetan, vielmehr repressiv Menschen beherrscht. Wie konnte die ganze Welt auf diesen Drachen reinfallen?
