I'm horribly confused. At a time where the Catholic Church is falling apart amid scandal, Tony Blair has converted to the faith. I can't help but ask myself why? No before you call me a hater of Catholics, do know that I myself am Catholic. I also went to twelve years of Catholic school, of which four were taught by Jesuits. The Jesuits are the wonderful sect of Catholicism that has no problem showing its students
Dogma as a way to point out what is wrong with the Church. Did I mention that Pope Benedict looks like Emperor Palpatine? Must I also mention that Benedict is the last Pope before Peter the II, who is supposed to be the last reigning pope of Catholicism? Read into that how you want. But, yeah, there is one thing that I find deeply profound about Catholicism that is said in Dogma, "You people mourn your faith, as though it is a burden." It's true, check out a Catholic mass. Chances are it will be rather dreary and sad. Sure there are the bright, cheery contemporary masses, but those are in the minority.
So, Tony Blair, why the conversion? I am proud that you have found "your faith", but why Catholicism? Was it the recent reinterpretation of Vatican II that said that only Catholics can receive true salvation? Yeah, it's true that Benedict said that. Never mind the fact that prior to his reinterpretation it was Dogma that God revealed himself to every civilization in the way that best works for that civilization, and everyone could receive true salvation. So yeah, please, the world wants to know. I want to know. Trying to mend bridges? Whatever it is... we would love to know.
