In this unforgettable Oxford Union debate, author and polemicist Christopher Hitchens takes the floor to oppose the motion: “The Catholic Church is a force for good in the world.” With razor-sharp wit and moral clarity, Hitchens delivers a scathing indictment of the Church’s history—from the Inquisition to modern-day scandals involving systemic child abuse, political complicity, and doctrinal harm in the developing world.
This full speech captures Hitchens at his most devastatingly persuasive, challenging not just faith, but institutional power hiding behind it. Whether you agree or not, it’s a must-watch moment in the history of public debate.
