Charles Keating

saying how lovely they were and how gentle and beautiful.

Then I found her turning up as Charles Keating's personal best friend in the Lincoln Savings and Loan scandal, taking a lot of money from him for a private plane, giving him blessings and crucifixes in return.

Then I found her turning up in Albania, where she's the supporter of a very extreme right nationalist party.

And quite a few other such things, and I thought, A, I don't like any of these things.

side for the purpose of

discussion.

Let's say that she went to the Duvalier family and got money, went to Charles Keating and got money, and moved it over to the poor.

Wouldn't that be charity?

Was a friend of the rich.

took money from the Duvalier family in Haiti, one of the most obscenely bloated dynastic dictatorships in history, took money from Charles Keating, the man who robbed Americans blind through the Lincoln Savings and Loans, stolen money, all to build convents in her own name, more than 200 of them around the world, in order to found an order that bore her name.

This is not modesty either, nor is it humility.

It doesn't exhaust my critique of her either.

Praising the Duvalier family because it was stood up for the Catholic interest in Haiti.

Fawning on Nancy Reagan Charles Keating of the Lincoln savings and all this was right there for anyone to see they wouldn't see it there because no no she's a saint she's doing work with the poor that always in fact the poorest of the poor was the mantra so they didn't want to hear that she was a fundamentalist they thought she was on our side so to speak same with the people's princess the ludicrous idea that a people's position can be passed on by hereditary succession but they were sure she was no no if you ask them are you for monarchy and hereditary power no Is she a people's princess? Yes.

Then the big white whale, Clinton.

What about someone who is a war criminal, a taker of bribes from foreign dictatorships, almost certainly a rapist, plausibly accused anyway by three believable women of rape, executed a black man who was so mentally retarded that he was unable to plead or to understand the charges.

In this book, and there is a relationship, The Missionary Position, Charles Keating is also referred to in the book by Christopher Hitchens.

It's called The Missionary Position.

And you write about how Mother Teresa accepted a large donation of stolen savings and loan money from Charles Keating, giving him a crucifix in return and describing this pious fleecer of the small saver as a friend of the poor.

Yes, and taking rides on his private jet and interceding.

with the court when he was on trial in Los Angeles, saying he was a great friend of the poor.

So the money isn't being spent on that.

She has claimed, however, to have opened several hundred convents in the rest of different parts of the world.

I suspect, since she won't allow an audit and she wouldn't give back the stolen money that Charles Keating gave to her or answer questions about it, that all the money that good people like yourself, who believe in her sainthood, sent her, has simply been spent in building a monument to Catholic fundamentalism.

It doesn't work for me.

Charles Keating, this

is probably the most significant money-related controversy.

Keating, a wealthy financier who was later convicted of fraud, gave organizations associated with Mother Teresa roughly $1 million or more.

That's important.

When you say Charles Kettering, it makes me think of Charles Keating.

Ah, Charles F. Kettering, American inventor and engineer.

Look at this.

And Mr. Keating.

By the way, no relation to Charles Keating-

Thank you, sir

... for those folks who may be wondering and remember that name.

These groups will deny they are connected with NODL, but they use NODL's banned books list as they parrot NODL's philosophy.

For example, listen to CDL's Charles Keating testifying before the House Subcommittee on Postal Operations.

The rot they peddle causes premarital intercourse, perversion, masturbation in boys, wantonness in girls, and weakens the morality of all it contacts.

Attention is given to sensationalists such as Kinsey, who draw sweeping conclusions from a handful of selected subjects and defraud the public by calling their meanderings a scientific study, and Eberhard and Phyllis Kronhausen, who
