Many were the voices raised against him, not least in this our church, by those for whom the easy option of blind obedience to mere dogma was more attractive than the pursuit of Truth through a truly enlightened Conscience.

NEWMAN SPEAKS TODAY TO US THROUGH BLAIR - POPE POLYPISTIS I
London 29.01.2070.
During this morning's General Audience, held in the Conway Hall, Red Lion Square, London, His Happiness, Pope Polypistis I, spoke warmly of the fragrant memory of Saint Tony Blair, canonised one year ago today.
Riding on the Papal Unicycle, and steering an impeccably straight course along the Golden Line of Tolerance specially painted on the floor, His Happiness, wearing the Universal Tiara, which bears the insignia of all the major Faiths, as well as others too numerous and esoteric to catalogue, greeted delegates from Catholic Abortionists, Queering The Church, We Are Church, Catholic Yackers, and the general public.
"A Saint's life," his Happiness remarked, "is an open book where we can read what we will. Saint Tony devoted his life, as well as his overarching gifts of courage, intellect, honesty, and humility, to the pursuit of all that is good.
"In the true spirit of Newman, he stood for the Truth, and the rights of Conscience courageously to follow and embrace that Truth wherever it may be found.
"Many were the voices raised against him, not least in this our church, by those for whom the easy option of blind obedience to mere dogma was more attractive than the pursuit of Truth through a truly enlightened Conscience.
"Newman speaks today to us through Blair."
