Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair Becomes Catholic
BBC NEWS | UK | Tony Blair joins Catholic faith
Former Prime Minister Tony Blair has converted to the Catholic faith.His wife Cherie is a Catholic and there had been speculation that he would convert to Catholicism from his Anglican faith after leaving office.
Mr Blair's official spokesman confirmed he had converted on Friday night and said it was a private matter.
As has been rumored for years, (I discussed almost exactly six months ago), Mr. Blair has become a Catholic. While certainly glad to have him (and anyone reading this who's not Catholic; talk to a priest today!), given some of his stances on issues (see my link in this paragraph), hopefully he'll spend some time recognizing the wisdom of Church teaching in these areas and work to undo some of the damage his past support for policies in opposition to Church teaching has caused.
