With the news that Tony Blair joined the Roman Catholic church last night in a ceremony led by Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor, I’d thoroughly recommend reading—or re-reading—Fraser Nelson’s piece on the attitude of some Catholics in this country to Blair’s conversion. You might also be interested in Stuart Reid’s thoughts on the matter which he aired just before Blair left office.
