Various Reaction to Pope Tony Blair in the English Press

Various Reaction to Pope Tony Blair in the English Press 2015-01-01T15:05:16-07:00

My fave:

How typical of Tony Blair. He’s been a Roman Catholic for only 20 minutes, yet he’s already lecturing the Pope on how to ‘modernise’ the founding Church of Christendom, so as to make its doctrines more congenial to Anthony Charles Lynton Blair.

Also:

But leave aside Mr Blair’s monstrous impertinence and his flesh-creeping, folksy language. What emerges with ringing clarity from his interview is that he sees the Roman Catholic Church, to which he converted two years ago, in precisely the same way as he saw the Labour party when he joined it.

“He regards it as an institution to be moulded in his own image, to spread the doctrines of Blairism to the four corners of the earth.”

Perhaps he should consider American citizenship.
