Ken scolds Newsweek management for Christopher Hitchens' atrocious review of Mother Teresa as revealed in Come Be My Light, a book of her letters confiding her trial of faith.

Comment: To the Newsweek editorial board and corporate management --- you have been hoisted on your own petard! The absurdity of providing a review written by Christopher Hitchens of the Come Be My Light book about Mother Teresa's correspondences points directly to your secular humanist obsession and folly. Would you pick an aborigine with no formal education to provide a review of a book written in Portuguese about nuclear weaponry? No. They would be a very poor source of insight into an area about which they know nothing including the language of the content. Christopher Hitchens may as well be an aborigine for all he knows or understands about the dimensions of faith and spirituality. Yet, there you go hoisting his ignorance onto the pages of your magazine to provide an "exclusive" discussion of Mother Teresa's faith ( as displayed in her letters ) about which he possesses no comprehension. Perhaps you would like to have Mahmoud Ahmadinejad provide your next column on a book about the Holocaust written by an authenticated survivor?
I delayed responding to your atrocity until I actually had a chance to read Come Be My Light. The love bestowed on others by Mother Teresa as she faced her burden of sharing the pain on the cross made as a sacrifice by Jesus Christ for the absolution of our sins made my admiration for her even stronger. The rest of the world recognized her faith in how she lived. You will also be measured by what you have done. I will pray for your souls.
Wake up before you go to....oh, never mind you don't believe it exists anyhow.
