The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice Audiobook (Free)

Summary:

‘A religious fundamentalist, a political operative, a primitive sermonizer, and an accomplice of worldly secular powers. Her objective has always been of this kind. The irony is definitely that she’s never been able to induce anybody to trust her. It is overdue that she was duly honored and taken at her word.’

Among his many books, perhaps non-e have sparked more outrage than THE MISSIONARY POSITION, Christopher Hitchens’s meticulous research of the life and deeds of Mother Teresa.

A Nobel Peace Reward recipient beatified from the Catholic Cathedral in 2003, Mother Teresa of Calcutta was celebrated by minds of condition and adored by millions for her work on behalf of the poor. In his assessed critique, Hitchens asks just that Mom Teresa’s reputation become judged by her actions-not the additional way around.

With characteristic élan and rhetorical dexterity, Hitchens eviscerates the fawning cult of Teresa, recasting the Albanian missionary being a spurious, despotic, and megalomaniacal operative from the wealthy who long opposed measures to get rid of poverty, and fraternized, for profit, with tyrants and white-collar bad guys across the world.
