Aired 11-7-09 on BBC World, the topic for this debate is: “Is the Catholic church a force for good in the world?”
“It stands up for the oppressed and offers spiritual succour to billions say the Church’s supporters. But what about the Church’s teachings on condoms, gays and women priests, ask the detractors.”
Speaking for the motion, Archbishop John Onaiyekan and Ann Widdencombe MP. Speaking against the motion, Christopher Hitchens and Stephen Fry. Hat tip to Atheist Planet.

“It stands up for the oppressed”
The RCC’s defenders must be joking on that one.
