Christopher hitchens on god5/13/2023 ![]() Instead, Hitchens places the blame firmly on Gibson's religion, which isn't even representative of modern Catholicism. (That last item is still being disputed, but you'd never know it from Hitchens' article.) He doesn't blame Gibson's bigotry on personality issues or on a possibly abusive parent, both of which are probably major factors. It was a piece about Mel Gibson, and although Gibson's bigotry was no surprise to me, what did strike me was Hitchens' own intolerance toward the Catholic Church, which he is apparently still blaming for the Crusades, the Inquisition and what he perceives as collaboration with the Nazis. I've only read one article by Hitchens, and it destroyed any urge I might have to read more. But I can't admire him, and his being ill doesn't change that. I'm sorry about his illness and I hope he gets better. ![]() I'm writing to say how disappointed I was when I read your near-worshipful journal entry on Christopher Hitchens. ![]()
