London, England, Nov 9, 2007 / 09:01 am
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair will soon be received into the Catholic Church, The Telegraph reports.
The prominent Catholic newspaper The Tablet reported that his formal conversion will take place at a Mass in the private chapel of Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, the Archbishop of London. The Tablet predicted Blair would convert this month.
Tony Blair's wife and four children are Catholic, and the family has attended Mass together for years.
A spokesman for the former prime minister did not deny the report outright but said "this is the same old speculation."
