John-Roger is the leader of a cult sometimes known as Insight but more accurately as the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness (MSIA), pronounced "Messiah." Hitchens says John-Roger, a major fraud, has repeatedly claimed to have a spiritual consciousness superior to that of Jesus Christ, which Mother Teresa should find blasphemous. Instead, she poses with John-Roger for a studio photograph that is later doctored to show them standing among the poor of Calcutta. The photograph, says Hitchens, was required by John-Roger in return for giving Mother Teresa a $10,000 donation.
