News worthy of attention. I am not familiar with Blair's own personal motives and circumstances, so I can only speculate. The most likely reason, in my opinion, for the move under discussion is the general situation in the Church of England, namely the growing secularization, as a result of which the church is becoming little distinguishable from a public organization with a philanthropic bent. The Catholic Church with its significantly more strict foundations, stubborn opposition to the de-Christianization of the world, and a rigoristic position on a number of hot issues, in particular. homosexual marriages, etc. remains attractive as a de facto alternative to total liberalism. Therefore, without commenting on the content of Catholicism’s position on these issues, it can be assumed that for a person who seriously strives to live by faith, when choosing between Anglicanism and Catholicism, preference may quite reasonably be given to the latter.
