Now, in the US, her hospices are almost all AIDS hospices. Huge majority of the patients are men, so (iii) really presents some problems, or should. I believe P&T did mention that no outside visitors are permitted and all inmates are proselytized relentlessly.
What they didn't mention is that this is happening not just in buttfuck India but in the US, and the civil authorities not only permit it but cover it up. They didn't need footage from third-world India, they could have filmed it at any number of facilities right here at home. Generally, western cities where she founded her little citadels of pain and suffering were so scared shitless of the Church and her obvious impending beatification that they gave the abominable practices a pass, or only required cosmetic fixes.

Sounds like: Same shit, different location to me. I don't fault P&T for not calling attention to every location.

Maybe. But we weren't talking about you. The people who grant holier-than-thou status to the icons P&T were using in this episode are the ones the argument was aimed at. And using someone's own standards against them (or pointing out how they pick and choose which standards to apply to suit their needs) was very effective.
