[...] Han lyckas på samma gång visa respekt för dem som tror på Gud och ge uttryck för sin avsky för den förtryckarinstitution kyrkan är och har varit. Fascinerande. Talet hölls 2009 under en debatt med den förhållandevis ambitiösa titeln ”The Catholic Church is a force for the good in the world” och arrangerades av Intelligence². Tyvärr kostar det £60 om året för att se hela debatterna, men en transkribering av just den här finns hos bloggen A mind @ play. [...]

The Catholic church ha reached poor and illiterate communities with the word of God.I am a Baptist myself,but I feel my church,Parklands Baptist Church,Nairobi,Kenya, has not reached common people in the way the Catholic Church has.Over this weekend I had a retreat at the Ressurection Garden,a few kilometers,from the City of Nairobi.As I walked through that garden, reading the scripture written on stone,right from the story of Adam in the Garden of Eden,Moses handing in the Ten Commandments,the conception of Jesus Christ, His teachings,especially the Sermon on the Mount,His crucifixion,His death and His ressurection,are portrayed so eloquently.Let us listen to what the common people say about their benefits from the Church.They will say better things about the Catholic Church than any other.

I have read what the panelists said and what questioners from the floor asked and commented on.I liked the reference to the ten commandments and the view that in the African society there are teachings which are made to us when we are being initiated into adulthood whose essence is moral.The debate focused on how the perpetraters/proponents of the Roman Catholic faith have failed,showing that extreme example of Sir Thomas More.The debate,especially from Christopher Hitchens,and Stephen Fry,did not touch on the inherent good of the Christian message as taught by the Roman Catholic Church.In criticising any religion we go off the point the moment we focus on the messengers.In Africa,for example,the miisionaries introduced Christianity without due regard to African culture and traditions,and in the process made so many blunders.And yet we cannot reject Christianity in Afriica because of the bad messengers.The Roman Catholic Church has sinned against children by having their best teachers turning on them and raping them.The church should accept its sin, cleanse itself, and using its "broken handle" move on with its work of preaching the Gospel to all nations.
