Our ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair has left the Anglican Church to become a Roman Catholic.
There had been speculation he would convert after leaving office. However ex-Tory minister Ann Widdecombe - herself a Catholic convert - said Mr Blair's voting record as an MP had often "gone against church teaching".
We all knew Tony Blair was a secret Catholic for quite a while, so this is no suprise. However, I would have had more respect for him had he put his faith before politics and converted to Catholicism whilst he was in No. 10.
But I guess our Tone would then have to face embarrassing questions about his stance on same-sex unions, stem cell research and abortion.
