The Saint Who Wasn't: When Icons Crumble
Picture this: Haiti, 1981. A tiny nun in a white sari embraces Michele Duvalier, wife of one of the Caribbean's most brutal dictators. Before national cameras, Mother Teresa praises the Duvaliers-the same couple who would soon flee with millions stolen from one of the world's poorest nations. This wasn't a photo ambush or diplomatic accident. It was a genuine alliance that reveals something unsettling: the woman the world revered as the ultimate servant of the poor was cozying up to those who oppressed them most. What happens when we place someone beyond criticism? When we decide certain figures are too virtuous, too selfless, too sacred to examine closely? Christopher Hitchens dared to ask these questions about one of the twentieth century's most untouchable icons, and what he uncovered challenges everything we thought we knew about charity, faith, and the machinery of sainthood itself.
