Welcome to Catholic Britain
Coming back for a moment to my earlier missive on religion, it is very interesting to note two things:
- That according to the Telegraph, Britain is now a Catholic country.
- Tony Blair decided to convert to Catholicism.
I can assure you I had nothing to do with either but it does look like Tony’s conversion was the straw that broke the back of the Anglican camel! I don’t suppose this sort of nonsense helps either:
In an attempt to combat the declining interest in traditional religion, the Anglican Church has launched radical new forms of evangelism that include nightclub chaplains, a floating church on a barge and internet congregations.
Why does the word “desperation” come to mind?
Henry VIII & Queen Elzabeth I must be livid, while Mary Queen of Scots and others must be having a little chuckle.
