I hope the Archbishop reads this.

Writing as a Catholic myself,I`m now seriously considring leaving the church over this matter.OK so we can and should be forgiving of repentent sinners.I`ve no problem there.There is more joy in heaven over one repentent sinner and so on.Where I have great difficulty is with the idea that this man is actually truly repentent.Where is there any statment that he now realises that the anti-Catholic stand he took as an MP and PM were wrong and that he now bitterly regrets his actions?There has,to my knowledge,been no such statement.If Blair has been to confession to admit these sins where is the penance?In days of old even Emperors had to make public penance so that all of the faithful could see he was at least in public truly repentent.Why does not the church make Blair do this as a condition of joining the church.If he has not admitted any sin or fault on his part,then how has he been allowed to take communion.If this man had been a Catholic while an MP or PM his actions would have warrented ex-comunication.Does not the good name of the Church mean anything to the Archbishop of Westminster or the Pope?It seems more important to have a celebrety convert than to up hold the teachings and principles of the Church.You may have gained Blair and you are welcome to him,as for myself and my family you have lost us.I hope many other Catholics will protest about this man being accepted into the Church.To me this man has been nothing short of evil.The blood of many inoccent people are on his hands and he did more than anyone in Britain over past ten years to advance and promote a PC,anti-Christian and anti Catholic agenda.
