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 Widdecombe MP. Speaking against the motion, Christopher Hitchens and Stephen Fry.

Gosh, do you think? Well, thank you for your thrillingly astute observation. It's all so clear now....What is clear is that there are still too many rather unpleasant nutjobs like you in the world, and the sooner the forces of evolution deliver your inevitable extinction, the better for mankind. It's a shame there's not a Hell for you to go to (qv. Hitchens)
Well everything I've said is the honest truth. Everywhere the Catholic Church goes it rapes, trashes and destroys the cultures of any land it has invaded and forcibly converted. It's already raped and trashed Indeginous people of North and South america, its destroyed the aboriginals in Australia, and now it wants to ruin the lives of the Hindus in India and peoples of Africa is shamfully exploits.
@amaqula, I believe we voted you off AtheistMediaBlog already. You sound like a ultra-right wing fanatic. Since when has the Catholic Church done anything good it has not redressd with that which has caused harm? Cool it, brother.
The Catholic Church does not deserve respect. The Catholic Church threw in its lot with Hitler and supported his regime. The Vatican complied with genocide in Fascist Roman Catholic state of Croatia and for political reasons deliberately whitewashes and suppresses involvement of the Holocaust in Croatia. Then you have deliberate genocide of Native Indigenous peoples by Catholics and other churches in Canadian residential schools and Guetamala. The Catholic church will pay for what its done.
Catholics threw their lot in with Hitler - and should never have done so! And they continue to throw their lot in with atheist secular politicians and their evil agendas including abortion etc! This must stop! We should have our own Catholic State agenda - so we have an alternative to constantly supporting weasel atheists and their evils!
Bring back the CATHOLIC STATE - and resist demographic decimation and Islamisation! Secular democracies are sinking under their own evil! Beware!
Western civilisation is the product of Christianity - not atheism! Under atheism it cannot stand - just look at its critically low birthrates! Goes against every biological and evolutionary principle there is! What a joke!
Bring back the CATHOLIC STATE - foundational state of the West - and resist demographic decimation and Islamisation - brought to you courtesy of atheists and their false ideas!!
Brothers, the theists once more deliver rank abuse to the computers of their nemesis'. Do not shirk in fear, languish in doubt, lurch in dread. Have confidence: no evidence exists proporting that they will not succeed.
