I mean, it just goes to show you how condescending the British are, in particular, about India and Indians. Hitchens didn't even bother getting to know the culture or the situation on the ground there before comparing St. Teresa's empire to the richest Western hospitals (and then turned around and vilified St. Teresa's own medical care and transportation lifestyle...)
I never really knew many deep facts about St. Teresa's network of homes and facilities. I just knew she was a woman of great charity. And she had to have earned that success in some supernatural way. If she was truly as cruel to the poor as her detractors say (and most of them merely parrot Hitchens without an original thought) then she would not have angered the priests of Kali, she would not have won the hearts and minds of the poor, and she would not have gained such singular worldwide acclaim and a prompt canonization.
Honestly, she was the type of person who not only worked within the Church and furthered the Church's mission, she furthered the humanity of those who are vulnerable and powerless. She spoke up for the unborn in a steadfast, loving way. She championed these people who couldn't even get into hospitals, who would otherwise die in a gutter. She inspired countless other women to act in the same way and join her mission. In fact I always, always see blue-and-white saris around town, because the Missionaries of Charity are active and engaged here in my hometown, and it's fantastic; it's literally like little St. Teresas running around and carrying on her work.
