Tony Blair

.

Greetings Bishop. I understand that former British Prime Minister Tony Blair is a recent convert to Roman Catholicism. I know thet he is a Fabian Socialist and that he and his wife consult astrologers and there are reports of their involvement with the occult. I also understand that he is in the run for presidency of the European Union. From what I have gathered, he has been a long time atheist and has participated in strange rituals in Mexico and I think he is also a member of the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderburger Group. We have previously on another forum discussed a great political world wide involvement in the occult by elite individuals serving the left hand path. Could we be witnessing something like this shaping up on the world political stage? As a Bishop, excorcist and someone who investigates occult activity on many levels, does this set off any alarm bells? It is not my intention to blacken Mr Blair's reputation or level any accusations on his name. This is something that I was recently made aware of from anti-occult and anti-satanic researchers and investigators during radio interviews and on the internet. Once again thank you Bishop and God Bless! Rodrigo.

You are probably referring to allegations made here: http://www.williamhkennedy.com/articles/satanism.html#tony

While he was Prime Minister, Tony Blair once commented that politicians who "do God" are "nutters." This is not the most eloquent of explanations of why British politicians do not "do God," but it offers an insight into what might be considered by some as a hypocritical position for Tony Blair to adopt.
.
Only now, liberated from the burdens of the office of Prime Minister, is Tony Blair prepared to talk about his faith, which he reveals was "hugely important" in formulating policy and making decisions during his decade at 10 Downing Street. It transpires that Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor advised Mr Blair not to reveal his intention to convert to Roman Catholicism during a visit to the Pope. The whole story may be read in The Telegraph. However, there is no true religion that does not speak of politics; they are fused. It is only in one’s personal devotion, when one kneels in submission to the Lord, when one seeks Him in humility and with a soul thirsty for righteousness, that all earthly matters melt away, and terrestrial politics is revealed for the fraud it is and always has been.

It was the late Cardinal Basil Hume with whom I was personally acquainted during the last decade of his life, who once declared that the Roman Catholic Church does not offer an à la carte menu. You cannot pick and choose the bits you like and do not like.

Tony Blair supports abortion, which is against the Church's teaching. When Prime Minister he also conspicuously failed to use his loud and influential voice against the campaign in Parliament to lower the legal age for abortions to twenty-four weeks.

It was the same Mr Blair as Prime Minister who skipped for joy (his words) when he saw on television the first homosexual couples being showered in confetti as "civil partnerships" came into effect in the United Kingdom. However, Mr Blair's new spiritual leaders, like all true Christians, are totally opposed to same-sex "marriages," which, in effect, is what they are. It was also Mr Blair's Government that forced through the change in the law making it illegal for Catholic adoption agencies to refuse to consider homosexual couples for any of the children in their care. Despite the personal opposition of Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, the most senior Catholic clergyman at the time to welcome the Blair conversion, our then Prime Minister refused to speak out. The twelve agencies, which last year placed 230 children, including some of the most "difficult to place children," will close down for ever.
.

So Mr Blair is someone who has had no problem with abortion, homosexuality, astrology, New Ageism and goodness knows what else. He is also a political leader who took the decision without the support of the people he represented to invade a sovereign country on a false pretext to wage aggresive war; a war, moreover, which led to innumerable people being killed and seriously maimed. The final death toll, if it is ever known, will be exceptionally high. Some might say Tony Blair is a war criminal. He certainly does not regret his decision despite the Pope himself having opposed the war.

.

Whatever Tony Blair is or is not, I seriously question his reception into the Roman Catholic Church. How will we know who is with us? How can we discern those who also call themselves Christians? Christ taught that we shall know them by their actions.

Not even conversion to Rome can halt the judgement of God.
