John Onaiyeka & Ann Widdecombe vs Hitchens & Fry Debate Catholicism

Image via Wikipedia

Here is a debate involving Christopher Hitchens. The Querstion being addressed: "Is Roman Catholicism A
Forece for Good in the World?"

At the beginning of the debate, the numbers were:

             Motion: The Catholic Church is a force for good in the world.
For: 678
Against: 1,102
Undecided 346

At the end of the debate, the numbers were:

For: 268
Against: 1,876

I've listened to the debate and while I disagree with many of the theological points of Roman Catholicism I thought that Hitchens and Fry were way too dishonest in how they painted the Catholic Church. And due to the Roman Catholic atrocities and decisions and lack of Biblical foundation and mistakes its way too easy a target. The truth is that this is true about every church. Churches are fallible because people are fallible. he word of God and the Church that Jesus established (spanning the centuries, nations, cultures, denominations, and creeds) is not corruptible, or in danger.

"And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it". - Matthew 16:18

The "rock" Jesus referred to is Himself  .not Peter. Jesus also said in Matthew 5:18:

"I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished."
