Blair Says Vatican out of Step With Public on Gay Issues

Filed Under LGBT, Religion 

Reuters reports:

The Vatican is out of step with ordinary Catholics and the public over homosexuality, former Prime Minister Tony Blair said in an interview on Wednesday.

Blair, who converted to Catholicism in 2007 and advocated pro-gay policies while in power, said average Catholics had more liberal views on homosexuality than Church leaders and would not say condemning it was an important part of their faith.

“If you went into any Catholic Church … on any Sunday here and did a poll of the congregation, you’d be surprised at how liberal-minded people were,” he told gay magazine Attitude.
