[elpadre]

This year the Episcopal Church has had two diocesan bishops resign and immediately begin their conversion process to the Roman church.

[basil]

That's why it's called "conversion". I believe the Apostle Paul had one of the first conversions, IIRC.

Welcome to the Church, Mr. Blair.

[SamuraiScot]

Converting while in office would have caused the former premier, now a Middle-East peace envoy, problems in connection with issues such as abortion, contraception, homosexuality and faith schools.

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.

[Sen Jack S. Fogbound]

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!

[Wilhelm Tell]

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.

[Fishrrman]

The Catholic church at least offers a chance at resisting Islam's agression in Britain.

The Anglican church offers nothing, and will be first to submit.

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.

[Jaded]

Blair should tell them all to bugger off! God Himself knows what’s in Blair’s soul not a bunch of busy bodies.

[Marathoner 244]

Welcome Mr. Blair.

[Psycho_Bunny]

I certainly would never follow Christ through the teachings of the Church of England and the moron currently leading it.

[RKBA Democrat]

People can change if they want to. I cringe when I think about some of the things I said and did before I converted to Christianity. For most folks it’s not some Charlton-Heston-seeing-the-burning-bush change, but a gradual thing.

You also have to ask: would it be more likely that Tony Blair would change his views within or outside of the church?
