A couple of people have e-mailed me questioning my assertion of Mother
Teresa's having connections to Nazism. Looking into the matter a little
further, it appears to me that I was probably wrong in stating this.
Christopher Hitchens has written about MT having close ties with fascistic
and Stalinist elements in Albania in the post-war era, but I have not been
able to verify specific ties to Nazism. It may be that if I did a lot of
digging I would come up with something along these lines, but since I
don't want to do that I better just repudiate all allegations of such
specific ties.
