Tony Blair, the outgoing prime sinister of UK, has recently made it public that he wishes to join his wife's Catholic faith. He visited the Pope a few days ago in hopes of making the big jump from his current Anglican disposition.

And you would think that in this day and age where throngs of people are leaving the Xian faith, a high profile conversion such as Blair's would be a no-brainer for the Catholic Church.

You would think.

It seems that the Pope has some serious objections to the actions Blair took during his 10 year tenure. This post over at the Largest Minority reads between the lines of the BBC report, which deftly dodges the issue of Blair's rejection by the Pope.

As he walks into the sunset of his political career, I really wonder how much this man regrets his decision to blindly follow his good buddy Bush. Not only is he reviled in his own country as well as most of the world, but now he is in danger of being damned in the Hereafter of his choice.

Justice is being served, sooner than later.

Worry not ol' chap (see, I speak British), if all else fails, you always have a backup plan with Islam. We Muslims have a soft spot for high-profile celebrities converting to Islam. After all, look how desperately we want Obama.
