Christopher Hitchens was a drunk.A good writer but a drunk.He felt the world boring without alcohol.He would show up for interviews on TV and no one knew if he would show up drunk or sober.I once saw him interviewed drunk.I have a few friends that were at an awards ceremony in NY.Chris was there and after Father accepted the award Chris accused him of being a Pedophile drunk.If you look way back with Chris he had a hard life.Deep in there was abuse and later he says he is bisexual.”Hitchens was bisexual during his younger days.[19] He claimed to have had sexual relations with two male students at Oxford who would later become Tory ministers during the premiership of Margaret Thatcher, although he would not reveal their names publicly.[20]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Hitchens
Why was he mad at Mother.Because she was pure.Someone who is bored with everything as a negative attacked her.I hope he made it.
He also claimed later on to have learned he had the same girl friend as Bill Clinton did at Oxford. The blogs are using him—his writings, etc..—to buttress there claims against Mother Teresa. For the Clintons and Gores to stand and not applaud—CYA—at that Funeral in NY for the Cardinal for his stand for Pro Life positions is revealing as to there mindsets. I told my sister recently that at one time a Vatican scholar worked for McDonald’s restaurants as an executive and did influence the design of every building built—the Obama care exemption rules there health care coverage. The Obamas like the design of the burger joint so well as to permit an exemption—not the Little Sisters of the Poor.
Also he was present when Sydney Blumenthal—another drunk—was trashing Monica Lewinsky. He lost a friend over that.
I’m not sure why so many side with Hitchens. He clearly despised religion with a passion. She was hated because of her opposition to abortion & contraception. She recognized the value of suffering & saw the suffering of Christ in those she tended to.
Personally - I’ll take the side of the sweet old lady who did her best to love others.
