Stephen Fry's offering for the negative side in the October 19, 2009 London based IQ Squared debate.

The motion was: "The Catholic Church is a force for good in the world".

Here's the full Debate (which I encourage you to watch to get a balanced argument)
[1/5] [2/5] [3/5] [4/5] [5/5]

Final Vote:
268 For
1876 Against
34 Undecided

I've watched this man times before, and I believe both Stephen Fry's and Christopher Hitchens arguments are some of the best thought out and correct speeches of all time
