Figures like Christopher Hitchens, who are themselves very spiritually immature and like to play on peoples sense of breaking away from tradition, of hearing a sort of rebellious, iconoclastic message which sells books and who do not want to have anyone put a moral authority over them set out to discredit Mother Theresa in any way possible.
I like it: you're given clear, factual evidence that something is true, but because it doesn't fit in with your internalized narrative of atheists being dishonest and waging a hate campaign against religion, those facts must just be a malicious smear.
It's only becoming clearer the more you post that in your mind, what Strodel wants to be true is more important than the actual facts.
