The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice by Christopher Hitchens is a critical examination of the life and work of Mother Teresa. Hitchens challenges the widely held view of Mother Teresa as a selfless humanitarian, arguing that her actions and beliefs were often contradictory and problematic. He critiques her stance on issues like poverty, abortion, and contraception, and questions the sanctity of her reputation, accusing her of aligning with corrupt political figures and failing to provide proper care for the sick. Hitchens explores how Mother Teresa’s image as a saint was constructed, emphasizing the disparity between the public persona and her actual practices. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of celebrity, charity, and moral complicity, challenging readers to reconsider the legacy of one of the 20th century’s most iconic figures.
