In this frank and damning expose of the Teresa cult, Hitchens
details the nature and limits of one woman's mission to help the
world's poor. He probes the source of the heroic status bestowed
upon an Albanian nun whose only declared wish was to serve God. He
asks whether Mother Teresa's good works answered any higher purpose
than the need of the world's privileged to see someone, somewhere,
doing something for the Third World. He unmasks pseudo-miracles,
questions Mother Teresa's fitness to adjudicate on matters of sex
and reproduction, and reports on a version of saintly ubiquity
which affords genial relations with dictators, corrupt tycoons and
convicted frauds. Is Mother Teresa merely an essential salve to the
conscience of the rich West, or an expert PR machine for the
Catholic Church? In its caustic iconoclasm and unsparing wit, The
Missionary Position showcases the devastating effect of Hitchens'
writing at its polemical best.
