Tony To Vatican: Evolve!

If you don't understand the humor, I can break it down for you. It's making fun of the churches view on marriage by showing this minister approving the marriage of a man and a chicken, but not gay marriage. In all actuality, there are areas where it is legal to marry your first cousin. Then again, incest has always been church approved if you look close enough. How do you think Adam and Eve continued their pure bloodline? By keeping it in the family, quite literally. Again, I digress.....

The Catholic church is full of contradictions and some outdated practices, even Tony Blair agrees with me. Tony Blair said the Vatican is out of step with ordinary Catholics and the public over homosexuality. In an interview with Reuters, Blair said:

"When people quote the passages in Leviticus condemning homosexuality, I say to them -- if you read the whole of the Old Testament and took everything that was there in a literal way ... you'd have some pretty tough policies."

Blair, who converted to Catholicism in 2007, has always been an advocate of pro-gay policies. He believes that the church needs to change along with the times. He says that the church's view on homosexual acts (not homosexuality) stems from a "huge generational difference" and should be reevaluated for the current generation.

"Now, my view is that rethinking is good, so let's carry on rethinking. 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," Blair said.

This is the kind of thinking I love to read about when I hear about reform and change. That's right, Tony Blair, give yourself a round of applause. And as always, England prevails!
