Talk about sending mixed messages. The Pope accuses Blair ( an Anglican ) of waging an unjust war but give him Communion:

THE PRIME MINISTER received communion from the hands of the Pope during his recent visit to the Vatican, it has been reported from Rome.

Tony Blair, an Anglican, had an audience with Pope John Paul II on 22 February and attended mass on the following day with his wife and their three eldest children, all of whom are Roman Catholics.

A Jesuit liturgist from one of the Pontifical universities confirmed the story. It is said that the Vatican’s Secretariat of State granted a special dispensation for Mr Blair to receive communion on the grounds that there is no Anglican church for him to attend in the Vatican. There are, however, three Anglican places of worship in the centre of Rome.
