Tony Blair goes over to Rome!

So he has joined the Roman Catholic Church. I wish him well, but he has joined with a rather large carpet bag of dodgy legislation behind him. What now of gay "marriage", what now of forcing Catholic adoption agencies to take on board non-Catholic beliefs, and what of his lacklustre approach to family values?

I would dearly love to have been a fly on the wall at the meetings with the RC hierachy. Perhaps he confessed all, and is now on a clean sheet. Maybe. However, the rest of us are left with his ideas and his laws. He will now have to get used to the fact that the Catholic faith is not like the Pick 'N Mix at Woolworths but very much a set menu! In that, it is a pity that large parts of the Anglican Church seem to make it up as they go along rather than taking on the "faith once delivered to the saints" as handed down from the apostolic fathers.
