Tony Blair is a committed church goer and strongly religious, a fact which is often lampooned and contrasted with the morality of his policies in the British media . His wife, Cherie, is a Catholic, and Blair himself occasionally takes Catholic communion at Westminster Cathedral although he is officially Anglican. Although there have been rumours of his conversion to Catholicism, he disagreed with Pope John Paul II on the morality of the Iraq War.
