Hypocrite “Catholic” Cherie Blair Says Catholic Church Sexist, Credits Personal Success to Contraception

The Church “marginalizes” women and keeps them “virtually invisible” in its public face, says Cherie Blair. Speaking on a BBC television program, the wife of former Prime Minister Tony Blair said that “ambivalence” towards women is a “fundamental weakness” of Christianity and of Catholicism in particular. The controversial remarks were made during the final installment of a documentary, Christianity, that was aired on BBC’s Channel 4 on Sunday night. During a section of the program that dealt with the Catholic Church’s teaching on contraception, Blair credited her use of contraception for her personal success. Blair said that every time she didn’t use contraception, “I seemed to have a baby.”
