This year the Episcopal Church has had two diocesan bishops resign and immediately begin their conversion process to the Roman church.
Welcome to the Church, Mr. Blair.
Paul’s conversion was life changing. I wonder if Blair’s is? Has he renounced abortion and gay unions? Is his conversion one of mind, soul and body? I wonder...
Er, dude, welcome home. But why didn't you do the right thing while you were still in office?
Did P.M. Blair have a rapid interior conversion only after he'd done all this damage? Either way, he really needs to renounce his Culture of Death promotion and do some public and serious penance, in my opinion, or he's rather a coward.
Don’t worry about it—God knows.
Everybody including Blair’s choice of religion is his own personal business.
We have no right to critize his choice for any reason. That includes Romney, Bush, and Blair!
All the leftists are upset because Blair joined a church that is pro-life and takes its faith seriously. All the “tolerant” multiculturists say in effect, “We can’t have Catholicism, we cannot allow that type of people to hold public office and it is unseemly for even an ex-politician to profess Christianity.” If Blair had converted to Islam, the left (including the radical gays and feminists) would have hailed this as a great thing. Anyone who questioned this would have been arrested for a hate crime.
The Anglican church offers nothing, and will be first to submit.

YOur point is well taken and entirely fair. I would certainly hope and pray that the Pope would not personally welcome a political leader into the Catholic church who still embraced the slaughter of innocent children.
Yoiu can tell that the folks who wrote the article have never heard of conversion of hearts. They have no understanding of basic Christian concepts.
Only God knows the heart. I am happy for Mr. Blair.
Blair should tell them all to bugger off! God Himself knows what’s in Blair’s soul not a bunch of busy bodies.
Welcome Mr. Blair.
Yes, Paul was converted to Christ. Not Rome, of course.
The pro-Rome arrogance is a bit hard to take here. Let’s just be glad that he’s turned his heart toward Christ, all right, and not get into the “my church is better than your church” game.
Uh—did somebody mention Rome? Certainly not I.
Obviously Mr. Blair thinks Roman Catholic is better than Church of England; otherwise, why the conversion?
I certainly would never follow Christ through the teachings of the Church of England and the moron currently leading it.
Well Paul was already a Roman citizen so he would not have had to be converted to that. ;)
