Catholic Tony Blair’s Private Life, A Mass Of News
TONY Blair has converted to Roman Catholicism. “Why now,” asks the BBC’s 10′clock news?
Firstly, says the reporter, “Anything in the prime minister’s life can cause huge attention, huge fuss and Tony Blair wanted to avoid that”
Tony Blair converts is the lead news item on the TV news; “Tony Blair joins Catholic Church” is the lead item on the BBC news website.
So why did he convert now..?

Smartest move Tony Blair has made in many years, I’d venture to say. A person’s choice of a religion is very personal and he was fully aware, no getting around that, he converted while Prime Minister the gossip and questioning and people putting their noses into his personal beliefs, where they had no right being, would be never ending.

Who gives a flying fuck?
Clearly its his only way of getting a shag from Cherie, but really, would anyone want to go there

Blair converts to RC religion.If only he had converted to real honesty much earlier but he was very economic with the truth.
Now chasing after easy money by giving speeches that the majority of people haven`t the slightest interest in hearing.I would rather mix with the poor.Many of them have little moneybut have far more natural spirituality than Blair ever dreamed about.

I cant be bothered to argue - politicians lie.

I don’t see what’s so smart about it. He’s been attending Mass for years, he should have joined before he became Prime Minister. He obviously wanted to dodge the abortion issue (which is a major thing in the Catholic Church). He’s a devious moral coward.

Why did he not make his faith public when in office instead of being two faced about it.
Can’t have much of a faith.

My how your prejudice does show, England. Would you rather he converted to Islam? But of course, you can’t show your prejudice against Islam, now can you? And we all know why. Roman Catholics don’t take to the streets and threaten anything or anyone, so hey, fair game. This if fine. Free Speech RULE! But why are you afraid? In the end, Roman Catholics wish all Anglicans well as you are our brothers and sisters in Christ. In fact, we wish everyone well, regardless of their religious affiliations. Yes, you guessed, I am a Roman Catholic. Get real, let Tony Blair be who he wants to be. I like him no less nor no more now that he has made this private decision. MERRY CHRISTMAS.

well, not having much of a faith is a prerequisite for christian participation these days. it is all so very beige…
if you were goin to convert to something, prayer beads always look mighty fine, don;t they?
