Intelligent Debate


This is the entity of brilliance that is Mr. Stephen Fry debating the idea that the Catholic Church is not a force for good in the world.

I urge you to watch the rest of this debate (also featuring Christopher Hitchens on the side of Fry, with John Onaiyekan and Ann Widdecombe arguing for the other side), as it really does raise a number of important issues that we have similarly faced over the past few weeks with the visit of The Pope. The passion that flows behind Fry's eloquent portrayal of an anti-patriarchal viewpoint is plain to see, while the opposing side offer an insight into their world, which I must admit, doesn't get enough exposure.
