WYD Debating Champions will be crowned tonight as international debaters take on local orators to compete tonight in the final of the 'Papal Plate' debating competition to be held at Sydney University's Great Hall at 8.30pm.

Earlier today at the same location, Cardinal Pell addressed the international students of the world and encouraged them to take the Gospel into public life.

Their opposition, three pilgrims from Oxford, England will debate the affirmative stance, 'That God is dead', while the Aussie team debate the negative.
