upax4l | What's the point of a debate if noone is willing to change their mind? | Public/political debates are not for those participating, but for the ones watching or listening (to either strengthen their beliefs or to change their minds/win them over) | 50 | ask |
upax4l | What's the point of a debate if noone is willing to change their mind? | Even if noone changes their mind at the time, either side might later think about each other's points.
Also, a good debate helps each debater to question and hone their own beliefs. | 30 | ask |

upb2vc | Hi there. I have a tiny understanding, but since I am protestant, well brought up protestant I know very limited knowledge on how the catholic church works.

This is more difficult than it sounds. Catholic Priests must have an undergraduate degree, 4 years in a seminary after that, followed by a year as a deacon before they can be ordained. It's a 9 year path that's longer than almost any other profession other than Medical Doctor.
