The heretical 'faith' and false and apostate 'church of vatican ii' fulfill many of Lenin's ideals because he is the one who in 1923, following in the footsteps of the Freemasons, orchestrated the Communist infiltration and subversion of the Roman Catholic Church, with the result that now the true Church, and its true members are turned out and reviled, and the apostates and their false unholy church of satan are accepted by all those who are eager to be deceived.
... the apostates and their false unholy church of satan are accepted by all those who are eager to be deceived.
"Lenin defeats Christ" would make an appropriate tag line for you.
"You idjits take a beautiful story about the potential conversion of Tony Blair"
Blair won't convert. He is a proponent of murdering babies, he stacks his cabinet with sodomites, he supports sodomitic "marriage", he supports cloning and embryo experimentation and he is a public fraud and liar.
This idiot priest has absolutely no justification for giving Holy Communion to this servant of satan - there are plenty of Anglican churches in England where he can receive "communion" without profaning the body and blood of Christ.
If Blair should ever seek to become Catholic he should publicly repent for all the public opposition to Catholic doctrine and the Law of God that he has exemplified in his professional career.
According to Redemptionis Sacramentum, this priest has committed a grave delict by giving communion to this man, not to mention the grave indiscretion he has committed by discussing private conversations in the national press. I hope he is delated to Rome.
But...but...how can you criticize Tony Blair, the faithful friend and ally of our Great War President? Don't you know that all that matters is that the British government blindly support the US in whatever it does? Who cares that Blair has practically destroyed the British constitution, undermined the monarchy, kicked the hereditary peers out of the Lords, promoted multiculturalism and uncontrolled immigration, diminished Britain's national sovereignty, advocated abandoning the Pound, appeased IRA terrorists, shown more sympathy for criminals than their victims who try to defend themselves, ignored rural concerns, and trampled on individual liberty? He supported the War, so he must be a conservative, right? Because that's what conservatism is really all about. War, War, War.
</sarcasm>
(from a paleoconservative Anglophile disgusted with the blindness of most American "conservatives" regarding that despicable creep in 10 Downing Street)
His ignorance and lack of humility in his reaction to doctrine on receiving the Eucharist shows he hasn't been Catechized past square-one. A self important public figure who views our faith as a buffet table is not a "beautiful story". It would be if he humbled himself and submits fully.
His high standing in the world has no bearing. He should submit himself, become a catechumen and reject his anti-Christian ways like any other earnest convert. Once he does so the angels will sing and it will then be a beautiful story.
"He supported the War, so he must be a conservative, right?"
Here I think you have hit the nail on the head as to why there is so much naivety about Blair in the U.S..
Morally and socially the man is on the same level as JFK - somewhere between an amoeba and a cockroach.
Why not? He would fit in great with Kerry/Kennedy/Daschle/Cuomo/Schwartneggar/Pelosi/Harkin/Dean.
He is neo-Catholic to the core, a perfect fit, the new Katholik (soviet) Man, nuanced, apostate, universalist, socialist, internationalist, metrosexual.
He's perfect. Let him suck down the communion kookie!!!

And there, I think you have hit the nail on the head.
Sadly, few of our US friends have the opportunity to see Blair wearing his usual hat. A far, far cry from conservative. This is a man who would, customarily, agree with the last guy to leave the room if he thought it would advance his own personal agenda.
I doubt that his popularity quotient would be so high in the US if they were aware of his almost slavish adherence to the whims of his (thankfully now ex) Press Secretary, Alistair Campbell. For the uninformed, the latter is the pit-bull thug, press bully boy and self-proclaimed atheist who, effectively, ran then country whenever Tony was off accompanying Cherie on one of her mantra-chanting, chakra-seeking, crystal-rubbing, guru-hunting outings. Of course, since Fr. Russ approved then that makes it all right.
I am sure Tony would be a trifle less popular had they witnessed the occasion when, following a question to his master on the moral probity of going to war, Campbell rebuked an elder statesman of the Downing Street press corps with the scathing We dont do God around here!! To a shocked room, Blair could offer no more than one of his diffident little smiles and a "Oh, you really are a godless lot around here
So, yep, our PM is ripe for conversion to Fr Russs church.
Quite why Blair chose to support the war on Islamic terrorism, I dont understand and its a whole, other story. Lets just be thankful that he did so.
And, by the way, there are probably a lot of deeply offended amoebae and cockroaches out there (grin).
p.s. Just ignore the other fellow. Almost everybody else does these days.
There is no beautiful story here, just further proof of a world gone wacky, and the sense of enitlement that everyone in it seems to hold.
There is no need to further point out the errors of Blair and Russ. They are painfully apparent. And the validity of the private Mass for notables only in a nonconsecrated surrounding is also called into question.
Us 'idjits' (including those in the Vatican who are opposing this) are possibly the only ones holdng the fabric of the Church together from people like you and your 'legion'.
What's so beautiful converting from the Anglican Church to the new catholic church. He's wasting his time - the're practically the same.
Except the Anglicans generally have better music than the Novus Ordo.
"But he said that the Catholic Church fulfilled many of the Prime Ministers socialist ideals."
Some socialist! He is now in the process of buying a fancy house in Mayfair costing £6,500,000! If this is an example of Blair's beliefs, his dalliance with selected Catholic churches for their 'socialism' is quite farcical and defies any serious analysis other than the theatrical posturing of modern politicians.
"I thought the PM was one of those rare breeds of Liberals who was pro-life."
Not in the least I'm sorry to say. He maybe one of those "Personally opposed, but.." types, however, he certainly had no qualms in voting for the murder of babies right up until birth.
The current spate of controversy occurring under his regime is whether doctors have the right to refuse to treat disabled children. The latest case is an 11 year-old epileptic child with learning difficulties who lives at home with her parents. After a recent case of pneumonia, doctors told her parents that they didn't want to treat her again if she became ill.
Moral: don't live in Blair's Britain if you have any form of disability whatsoever!
