In 2009 IQ2 (Intelligence Squared) held a debate with the motion "The Catholic Church Is A Force For Good In The world." For the motion were Archbishop John Onaiyekan and Ann Widdecombe. Against were Christopher Hitchens and Stephen Fry.
I admit I haven't yet watched the entire debate, but I urge you to watch Stephen Fry. His speech has been spilt into two ten minute pieces which are on you tube.

Mr Fry does an excellent job. Of course the devout adherent of that sect will not understand. Note Ms Widdicome (Wonder if I;ve spelt the self righteous cow right, and the I wonder if I care) shakes her head in disbelief.

Those videos are getting old but still well worth a look. Anything by Stephen Fry is worth a watch - he's a brilliant man. He's currently here in New Zealand, filming the Hobbit. If he's as intelligent as i think he is, he might stay here! (well, we can dream).
cheers
