And why did a Professor at Oxford University say the below?
“Christianity is morally outrageous and intellectually contemptible.”
Thank you.

The punctuation is OK, but the format is awkward. I suggest: Why did a Dean at Cambridge University say, “Somehow, everybody just knows that Christianity is the Church and the Church is a power-structure, an apparatus for limiting freedom in belief and morals ”? And why did a Professor at Oxford University say, “Christianity is morally outrageous and intellectually contemptible ”?
