Blair to Become a Catholic Deacon?

Source: The Hermeneutic of Continuity

Regular Guy Paul and Fr. Tim Finigan are reporting that Tony Blair - who hasn't even converted to Catholicism yet (assuming he even will) - is already talking about being ordained as a Deacon of the Church.

Check out this quote that Fr. Finigan has highlighted from a Fr. Timothy Russ:
Father Timothy suggested that taking on a formal role in the Church could give [Blair] fresh moral clout when he campaigns on climate change and Africa.
Un-frickin-believable. Just so long as we have our priorities straight there, Fr. Russ. Moral clout on climate change. Sheez. Never mind the Blair government's stance in opposition to the Church on issues like abortion, ESCR, and most especially the same-sex regulations where Blair's government has made persecution of the Church a real possibility.

And how will it look when "Deacon" Blair's so-called "devoutly Catholic" better half is off galavanting around at nonsense like this (scroll down to the second entry)?


UPDATE
Hey, while we're at it, why not make Nancy Pelosi a Deacon(ess)?

Why not advocate making him a lay cardinal while they're at it? Good grief.

No deaconess for Nancy -that's too lowly. Nancy wants to be the High Priestess and maybe someday the High Popess.

And I say let her—so long as her conclave meets on a riverboat somewhere in California.

Oh, and the correct title is Mome. Remember that.
