Excellent video of the Intelligence^2 debate entitled “The Catholic church is a force for good in the world”. The Roman Catholics represented by Archbishop of Abuja and UK conservative MP Ann Widdecombe were trounced by the side of Reason represented by Hitch and Stephen Fry. If the proponents’ devastation was not obvious enough the poll at the end of part 5 hammered the point home. Interestingly the passion was coming mainly from Hitch and Fry (though especially Fry). I am thoroughly encouraged not just by the scale of the defeat but by the swing away from those that initially agreed the motion.
