Religious News - Vatican welcomes Blair to Catholic fold - ArcaMax Publishing: "Vatican welcomes Blair to Catholic fold
ROME, Vatican City, Dec. 22 The Vatican welcomed former British Prime Minister Tony Blair's decision to become a Roman Catholic. A spokesman said such an 'authoritative personality' choosing to join the Catholic Church 'could only give rise to joy and respect.'
The ex-PM was received into the Church by the Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor. It comes as research shows Catholic churchgoers now outnumber Anglicans in the UK for the first time since the Reformation, BBC News online reported Saturday."
