The Intelligence Squared Debate aired 7 Nov 2009 on BBC World. The question: 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.
Here is the five-part YouTube playlist.
It is interesting to note how the audience voting polls change before and after the debate.
