An excellent speech (that is, if you are not catholic).

UPDATE:

This was part of an Intelligence^2 debate between Atheists and Catholics on the motion:

"Is the Catholic Church a Force for Good in the World"

Before the debate began the audience was polled with the following results:
678 For
1102 Against
346 Undecided
(2126 total votes)

After the debate the audience was polled a second time with the following results:
268 For: -410 votes, -60.5% of original votes for
1876 Against: +774 votes, +70.2% of original votes against
34 Undecided: -312 votes, -90.2% of original undecided votes
(2178 total votes)

and, apparently, 52 people were so aghast or moved that they voted after the debate when they didn't bother to do so at the beginning (presumably against the motion).

So, in summary, after the debate only 12.3% of agreed with the question: "Is the Catholic Church a Force for Good in the World"


(oops, I screen captured too soon on my original update)

My question is, what kind of person would be part of that 12.3%?

1. "what kind of person would be part of that 12.5%?"

The heavily indoctrinated kind.
