The PM a Catholic?
From Regular at mass, communion from Pope. So why is Blair evasive about his faith?:
The article mentions Northern Ireland as the reason. What it does not mention is that he is the man who chooses the (Anglican) Archbishop of Canterbury. This could be another reason for his evasiveness.

- "In 2003, when Tony and Cherie visited the Vatican, apart from the well-publicised formal meetings with the Pope in which the latter argued against attacking Iraq, there was one utterly private meeting. The Pope's secretary, Arch bishop Stanislaw Dziwisz, said a mass just for the two of them, and both received communion from him. The Pope would not have allowed that unless he was sure his visitor was, in his heart, a Roman Catholic."

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
