Clearly there's a lot more here than some vendetta on the part of Christopher Hitchens, but some people refuse to see that.

Incidentally, a grand-nephew of Mother Theresa's was one of my best friends when I was in graduate school. He was an atheist (even before I was), not particularly impressed with his great aunt, and he hid the fact that he was related to MT because of the way religious people acted around him when they found out.
