Well, all this is interesting to me, anyway, and that's what matters here. The Internet is a terrible thing for someone like me, who finds almost everything interesting.

Stephen Fry on the Catholic Church
This isn't new. It was part of the Intelligence Squared debate, broadcast by the BBC, on the topic "The Catholic Church is a force for good in the world." I think that was in 2009, but I'm not positive.
I might have posted about it before. Heck, I might have posted this same video before. It's hard to keep track. But I stumbled across it (again?) today and it's too good to ignore. If you've seen it before, just skip it.
And if you want to watch the full debate, it's here. This excerpt is a whole lot shorter - and to my mind, it's probably the best part of it.
Have you seen: "Christopher Hitchens vs Tony Blair Debate: Is Religion A Force For Good In The World?"

Hitchens is, as usual, extraordinary.
Yes, you're right. It's quite good. And yes, Hitchens is always great in debates.
