Pope To Blair: ‘Miracles Are Hard To Come By In Britain’
TONY Blair wants to become a Roman Catholic, appreantly. He’s meeting with the Pope:
Friction even seemed to emerge as the Pope and Prime Minister appeared in public for the cameras. Mr Blair, joined by his wife Cherie, presented Benedict with a framed set of three antique pictures of Cardinal Newman, who converted in 1845 after more than 20 years in the Church of England clergy and is now a candidate for sainthood.
Mrs Blair said: “I believe you are very familiar with him and he is on the journey to sainthood.”
To which the Pope responded: “Yes, yes, although it is taking some time - miracles are hard to come by in Britain.”
Perhaps that’s because the British are sceptical by nature. Something to be proud of…

I used to be RC, but didn’t like the cannibalism (otherwise known as transubstantiation) or some other nasty traits; a ‘Miracle’ as such for me would be admitting to their wrongs, and doing something about it.
