The reasons why he wasn't a fan of Mother Teresa are certainly shocking though. Do you contest the facts? Or do you think the facts should be ignored and she should be given a pass (and sainthood, literally) just because it's an anti-theist who dared to point those facts out?

And no, not all the criticism I cited (and the wiki page explains in great detail with many citations) was from Christopher Hitchens, or from anti-theists.

The truth is: She wasn’t a friend to the poor, she was a friend to poverty, who fetishized suffering.

If you will only believe the truth about Mother Teresa if it's spoken by a radically pro-theist Catholic, then here are Bill Donahue's own words, President of the Catholic League:

"Mother Teresa WANTED people to live in impoverished conditions, so she could identify with the poor, whom she's serving." -Bill Donohue, President of the Catholic League
