In another note:
I'm not understanding why the median age of the debaters has a 20 year gap between the catholics and atheists. Anne whats-her-name looks like she has one foot in the grave.
At any rate, the opening statements by Mr. Hitchens are dead on. It's very hard to argue Catholicism is such a force for good when you look at the countries where it is most prominent (South America, Africa) and see the poverty that has taken root in their nations.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
