Tony Blair has challenged the entrenched attitudes of the Pope on homosexuality, and argued that it is time for him to rethink his views.
Speaking to the gay magazine Attitude, the former Prime Minister, himself now a Roman Catholic, said that he wanted to urge religious figures everywhere to reinterpret their religious texts to see them as metaphorical, not literal, and suggested that in time this would make all religious groups accept gay people as equals

In name only, apparently.
Tony’s really got a thing for the homosexuals.
Blair steps up fight to be crowned first 'President of EU' Brown gives grudging blessing to his old rival's return to new job at centre of the global stage http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/blair-steps-up-fight-to-be-crowned-first-president-of--eu-1662928.html Tony Blair has emerged as the leading candidate to become the first permanent president of the European Union after Gordon Brown gave his grudging blessing to the plan.

Who said they are not, "equal?" It's just that the practice of homosexuality is wrong.
Tony has finally come out of the closet how nice
Right Tony ....me thinks in this issue it will be you who is going down and bending over.
hmmmmm...
Arrogant prick. You’re not even a real Catholic!
Tony, don’t take it up with the Pope, take it up with God. He said it, plain as day.
"Oi Pope! Wot's a yob to do when 'e's feelin' randy in choich on a 'ot summas day?!?"
The pope should’ve asked him why he converted if he doesn’t believe church doctrine?

‘Tonys really got a thing for the homosexuals.’
And that is surprising how? I know he’s British but the gaydar is going off.
End of Days here we come.
I’m just sure the Pope is going to rewrite the Bible based on popular sexual mores.
I will tolerate a homosexual individual.
However, I refuse to accept the ACT of “gay sex” as a natural behavior.
If Tony Blair wanted to be in a church where homosexual conduct is approved of, gays can get married, women can be ordained, and so forth, he should have remained an Episcopalian. They even have the same nifty vestments, smells and bells and all the rest of the trappings. What’s the point of crossing the Tiber anyway?
