The strength to espouse unpopular views is so sorely lacking in most "leaders".

I wish I could flag this more than once. This story has no business on HN.

Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, friend of the poor, lover of that Heart which exploded with charity on the Cross, please pray for the repose of the soul of Christopher Hitchens, and for the salvation of us sinners on earth.

I will sacrifice a chicken for you.

and I shall sacrifice a noodle

Comments with only humor and puns are discouraged here, but if the post you are replying to is so ridiculous that an adjective is yet to be formulated to describe it, I think it's all right.

Jesus Christ, King of Mercy and Justice, teach us how to love the cross and the poor, and to humbly build your Father's kingdom with faith, hope and charity.

O Christ crucified, present in the poor and suffering, save our souls!

O God, fill our hearts with your Divine Grace and open them to the example set by your servant, Mother Teresa of Calcutta. In your fathomless mercy, grant that the souls of Teresa and Christopher might endlessly rejoice together in eternal beatitude, beholding You face to face, without even an image in between.
