Didn’t W and Tony Blair also convert?

Blair officially became Catholic (formerly he was Church of England) when he left office. There may have been constitutional issues with a British Prime Minister being Catholic.

W was raised Episcopalian (US Church of England) and became Methodist after marrying Laura.

Common thread is leaving Anglicanism.

Blair did, but not W, to the best of my knowledge. We’d certainly welcome W.

There have been rumors about Blair, but I haven’t seen any official word. The rumors surfaced when he was PM and many said he wouldn’t do it while PM since it would amount to abandoning the official state religion. I believe he attends RC mass with wife and kids.

Regarding W, the answer is ‘no’. Perhaps you’re thinking of Jeb Bush who did convert.

Tony Blair did become a Catholic. President Bush has not, but it would not surprise me, if he and Laura did convert.
