Sorry, Ive listened to so many hours of hitchens interviews I couldnt tell ya. Ive specifically heard it twice in two interviews/lectures. Usually its intertwined with him discussing the church inviting him to, and him acting something like an antagonist in debates within the clergy. Which is usually intertwined with criticism of mother theresa. Sorry I cant be more helpful. Good excuse to listen to lots o’Hitch however.
You’re thinking of American Baptists and Evangelicals. Catholics are a little bit more practical, in general. Like protecting pedos, instead of ejecting them. Very practical.
Bullet proof glass, security goons. Why all this when prayer would keep him safe? Perhaps the pope only pretends to believe prayer works?
Do you remember any source for Hitchens on that, like a book or speaking event? I’d enjoy hearing more about that specifically.
