'Tony Blair has my prayers and good wishes as he takes this step in his Christian pilgrimage.'
- Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams, leader of the Anglican church on former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair's decision to become a Roman Catholic.
And you wonder why the Anglican Church is in rapid decline? J.C. Ryle where are you?
now, now paul thats not very nice towards the anglicans or the catholics. im quite happy for tony as this doesnt seem to be motivated by politics. as for anglicans joining catholicism you'd probably be interested to know fo the group of 400,000 anglicans who have asked to rejoin the RCC. while the pope wants to go ahead, Cardinal Kasper has poured a bit of cold water and is wary of that many people joining at once. really the anglicans are in trouble, but i think thats because of the episcopalians. but of course id be overjoyed personally if 400,000 came back to my neck of the woods, as it seems to be for the right reasons (ie not politics).
