The Pope called Blair in and talked to him before he “converted,” but clearly this had no effect. Blair’s wife is a cradle Catholic and is completely left-wing, both politically and religiously, and obviously runs her husband.

Remember when ‘ol Tone came across as being ‘all Christian like’ right before the Iraq war? He’s just another ‘bottom tissue’.

As a matter of fact, I wish all Liberal Catholics would do that. Both they, and we, would be much happier.

he wanted to urge religious figures everywhere to reinterpret their religious texts to see them as metaphorical, not literal So metaphorically speaking homosexuality is an abomination, but not literally???? I am sorry Mr. Blair, but your logic fails.

You gotta be kidding me.
His opinion on this matter has about the same gravitas as Paris Hiltons.

Lets see Jesus Annihilated Sodom and Gomorrah and he called homosexuality an OBANATION.... Even if you use Blairs logic that it was just a metaphor, it still means the Bible considers homosexuality wrong. His argument makes no logical sense. OK, it is a metaphor, does that mean it is a normal healthy righteous activity?

Ah I see that Tony Blair has been hanging out with Nancy Pelosi. Let’s just leave Catholic theology up to the Pope and other people in the Catholic church who actually now something abbout Catholicism.

I would listen to Benny Hill before I’d listen to Tony Blair.

I just read the excerpts, but it seems like he hasn't overtly contradicted Church teachings, just incited people against the Roman Pontiff. Any canonical penalty therefore would be ferendae sententiae, requiring the involvement of the bishop.
If he were to commit heresy, the penalty (excommunication) would be latae sententiae, or automatic without sentence.

Asked about the Popes stance, Mr Blair blamed generational differences and said: We need an attitude of mind where rethinking and the concept of evolving attitudes becomes part of the discipline with which you approach your religious faith. ******************
Ummmmm..... Tony.....
Neither God.... nor His Holy Word....
Are obligated to "evolve" to suit the demands of a perverse sub-culture and its adherents and advicates....
Ergo.... it follows...
That the messengers God has chosen and ordained to convey the Gospel in every culture and generation are called and GLADLY OBLIGATED to be faithful to the LORD, and proclaim the Word faithfully...
Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father...
There is no shadow of turning with Thee!
Perhaps the dynamnics should be reversed -- and the eternal truth becomes the basis for approaching the "attitude of mind" governing the culture.
Your eternal outcome will be more favorable - imho.

There was a recent study from Harvard which showed that people who use condoms are more prone to get AIDS than people who don’t, because the condoms give them a false sense of security and are more likely to promote promiscuous behavior - so the Pope was right on scientific and statistical grounds as well as religious ones.
