Blair Sync'd To Syncretism

We've discussed former Prime Minister Tony Blair's pseudo-religiosity before and his bewildering "conversion" to Catholicism. The current splash in the headlines is all about Blair telling the Pope he's wrong about homosexuality.

Asked about the Pope’s stance, Mr Blair blamed generational differences and said: “We need an attitude of mind where rethinking and the concept of evolving attitudes becomes part of the discipline with which you approach your religious faith.”

Mr. Blair currently crosses the globe plugging his Blair Faith Foundation. The Blair Faith Foundation seeks to promote the Faith Acts Fellowship along with the InterFaith Youth Core, etc. which all strive to achieve "consensus" in a "neutral" environment to discuss "faith" and "common ground".

Sound familiar?

We suggest Mr. Blair look up the definition of syncretism.

The effort to unite different doctrines and practices, especially in religion. Syncretism is also applied to [...] the attempts made of combining the best elements of different theological schools. But in recent years the term mainly refers to misguided claims that religious unity can be achieved by ignoring the differences between faiths on the assumption that all creeds are essentially one and the same.
