He's another one who can't retire fast enough, IMHO, and has probably blocked Anglicans from coming into the Church for decades now.
He has made a few good anti-cloning statements lately, but on the whole, he's terrible.
I’m afraid I agree with you. Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor has done a rotten job. For a while it looked as if there would be more Catholics going to Church on Sunday in England than Anglicans, but under his leadership that quickly came to an end.
I admit to being of two minds about this whole business. Blair and his wife are both screaming liberals. Blair is strongly pro-homosexual and pro-abortion. I have sometimes suspected that he may be homosexual himself. It figures that he would admire Hans Kung.
On the other hand, I can hardly say that he shouldn’t convert. It’s just very odd. Most converts are more traditional than cradle Catholics these days, but apparently the Blairs are exceptions to the rule.
