Tony Blair has challenged the “entrenched” attitudes of the Pope on homosexuality, and argued that it is time for him to “rethink” his views.

The former prime minister has stepped up his campaign for the job, which he wants to use to build a bridge between Europe and the new Obama administration.

accept gay people as equals

Who said they are not, "equal?" It's just that the practice of homosexuality is wrong.

Tony, don’t take it up with the Pope, take it up with God. He said it, plain as day.

The pope should’ve asked him why he converted if he doesn’t believe church doctrine?

What a freak.

‘Tony’s really got a thing for the homosexuals.’

And that is surprising how? I know he’s British but the gaydar is going off.

I’m just sure the Pope is going to rewrite the Bible based on popular sexual mores.

Tony Blair, obviously, has not taken the time to research his erroneous moral issues dealing with homosexuality.

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?
