**Thank you, Charudatt Prabhudesai, for referring to the link of "The
Intelligence-Debate-Stephen-Fry-Unedited-Film-TV-video". I heard for the
first time such a speech by Stephen Fry. I was looking at the African Bishop
and nuns who were there. It was amusing, since he is a comedian. At the
outset he gave me the impression that he was an intellectual, or someone who
knows what he is talking about. He is an excellent speaker. I listened to
all the points: on Limbo, Purgatory, sex obsession, wealth of the Catholic
Church, zeal of the Church for the missionary activity, "Outside the Church
there is no salvation" axiom... I thought that he was jumping into a frying
pan instead of "frying the Catholic Church". He knows only superficially
what he has mentioned. He claims to be an atheist, enemy of organized
religion. He is bi-polar. He can have his ups and downs. He could easily say
at some other time just the contrary of what he spoke...also brilliantly,
since he is an excellent speaker. These points can be debated. The audience
was applauding. I would applaud also for his courage to speak publicly on
such a topic. But would censor him for his mocking attitude, although he can
deal with these burning topics diplomatically... It would be better if there
had been a debate and he was questioned on what he spoke with such a
fire!...
Regards.
Fr.Ivo
