Catholics Lose Debate to Hitchens and Fry

Here find five links to youtube to follow a brilliant debate on the proposition "The Catholic Church is a force for good in the world." The Intelligence Squared debaters include Christopher Hitchens and Stephen Fry against the proposition, and Archbishop Onaiyekan and Ann Widdecombe attempting to defend it. Hitchens and Fry utterly devastate the Catholics, and I was frankly cracking up.

I'm not a member of the community where those links were posted, but I wanted to say it was almost embarrassing to watch. Hitchens I already knew of. Stephen Fry was new to me and, I'm sorry, he beat them mercilessly to a pulp. It was a wonderful thing to behold.
