More recently he has developed a friendship with Prof Hans Kung, the respected theologian.

Oh dear. Respected by dissidents, that is...

Huh? Hans Kung is a dissident Catholic.

But isn’t he also pro-abort and pro-homo?

Areas that he must cover before he can become a Catholic include the Creed, prayer life and the Church's doctrine.

I would think a few years spent studying the Church's moral teaching would also do him a world of good. Right now, he'd fit in with the all the "Catholics" in the Democrat party.

What? Blair didn't wear his purple tie when visiting the Pope? The prime minister must have forgotten it back at Number 10.

Despite being asked by Cardinal Basil Hume, the previous Archbishop of Westminster, to desist from receiving Communion because he has not converted to Catholicism, Mr Blair received Communion from Fr Michael Seed while he was at Downing Street and from Fr Timothy Russ and Fr Walsh at Chequers.

I thought CoE is in communion with the Catholic Church?

Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, the Archbishop of Westminster,

He's another one who can't retire fast enough, IMHO, and has probably blocked Anglicans from coming into the Church for decades now.

He has made a few good anti-cloning statements lately, but on the whole, he's terrible.

Having swum the Tiber myself 14 years ago, all I can say is "Welcome Home, Mr. PM, Welcome Home!"

All the rest of the chatter will sorted out at a much higher pay grade.

I can’t believe that there are still discriminatory laws against Catholics in England. My Father and my Grandfather were Irish Catholics who laboured all their lives building homes for the English. My Grandfather who was a master stonemason built and repaired many of Englands finer buildings. The English would do well to find better friends in Irish RC’s than Moslems.
