This still surprises me, even though everyone knew it was a'comin':

"Tony Blair takes final step to Catholicism" - Telegraph, 12/22/07:
His [...] road to Rome ended on Friday night when, in front of family and friends, he was accepted into the Catholic faith by Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor ...

Mr Blair took into account his faith when making some important decisions as prime minister ... to the role of his Christian faith in his decision to go to war in Iraq, saying that he had prayed about the issue, and that God would judge him for his decision.

He added: "You always get into trouble talking about it [religion]."
