Tony Blair has turned Catholic ..
Posted by N10452Tony Blair, newly minted Catholic: What took him so long?
The Roman Catholic Church has a new member, and he is isn’t just another, would-be choir boy.
Last Friday, in a private ceremony in London, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair left the Anglican Church (the Church of England founded by King Henry VIII in the 1500s after he broke with the Pope in Rome) and converted to Catholicism. The politician who led Britain into war with George W. Bush in Iraq in the face of emphatic protests from his countrymen “was received into full communion with the Catholic Church by Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor, Archbishop of Westminster….” (Times)

“Converted” to Catholicism.
On the day Tony Blair stood down as Prime Minister (UK), he was appointed official Envoy of the Quartet on the Middle East on behalf of the United Nations, the European Union, the United States and Russia.
Lets hope Mr. Blair might see some similarity between his faith and Lebanese, the only Catholics (Christians) remaining in the Middle East, and not act beneficiently, on behlaf of Israel.
