Unmasking Mother Teresa's Critics

Bill Donohue

Mother Teresa's canonization has brought fresh attention to her critics who malign her for the politicians she knew, for how she handled the enormous sums of money she raised, and for the quality of care she offered those she served.

Christopher Hitchens claimed she was "less interested in helping the poor than in using them . . . to fuel the expansion of her fundamentalist Roman Catholic beliefs."

A group of Canadian academics criticized her in their study for "her rather dubious way of caring for the sick, her questionable political contacts . . . and her overly dogmatic views regarding abortion, contraception, and divorce."

Now comes Bill Donohue, the indefatigable President of the Catholic League, who is fighting back.
In this carefully researched book, Donohue pulls the curtain back on Mother Teresa's critics, showing that virtually all of them shared an abiding disdain for Catholicism.

Her critics were militant atheists, Donohue explains, and strongly embraced socialism, viewing Mother Teresa's work as a deterrent to government-controlled programs.

In these pages, Donahue responds point-by-point to all of these malignant claims, and proves that such attacks on Mother Teresa are motivated almost entirely by her conviction that life begins in the womb.

Don't let Mother Teresa's critics win. Read this book, and be armed with all the evidence you need to put to rest those cruel myths that are being promoted by those who wish to destroy the legacy of one of the Church's most admired saints.

About the Author

Donohue, Bill: - In this incisive work, Bill Donohue pulls no punches as he contends that our moral crisis is a reflection of two competing visions of morality -- one religious and the other secular. The former is grounded in our Judeo-Christian tradition, the latter in radical notions of liberty and equality that are tearing us asunder. Donohue explains how the religious vision acknowledges belief in God, truth, human nature, natural law, moral absolutes, and Original Sin. It understands the limits of the human condition and thus rejects the notion that human perfectibility can be realized on earth. The secular vision believes none of this, and its adherents are bent on destroying the last vestiges of our religious heritage.Weaving together examples from the earliest centuries to the Enlightenment to modern times, Donohue seamlessly lays out how to restore our moral code so that the mainstreaming of madness is terminated and rolled back. You will find answers about: The immorality of legal decisions and their after-effects The connection between freedom and truth -- and the secret to their restoration Whether all cultures and civilizations are morally equal The balance between individual rights and the common goodThe importance of natural law and reason in guiding societyWhat is filling the void of secularization (You will be shocked!)Additionally, Donohue exposes religious bigotry toward Christians in America and sounds the alarm for governmental accountability since free speech is no longer tolerated when it opposes the approved narrative. The secular vision, he further attests, embraces and promotes radical ideas about sexuality that work to the detriment of individuals and society. Donohue explains how accepting the postmodern, sexually decadent views of "intellectual visionaries" has historically led to violent chaos in other cultures -- and may well do so again. Donohue probes the deep-seated animus that secular intellectuals hold against Western civilization --the United States in particular -- and concludes that many have simply given up on their utopian dreams and turned to anarchism and nihilism. He stirringly reveals how their deeply flawed vision of man and society is the source of what ails us and how we will have to recapture our religious roots to restore normalcy. There is no third way.

Praise for this book

Unmasking Mother Teresa's Critics is a valuable and enlightening book." -- Russell Shaw author, Catholics in America and other books "Personal Endorsement"
"Mother Teresa's detractors have met their match. In this devastating response to persistent critiques, Bill Donohue corrects the record and turns the tables on Mother's attackers. The truth within is a powerful antidote to the lies that have dogged Mother for too long" -- Raymond Arroyo New York Times bestselling author and host, The World Over Live "Personal Endorsement"
