CATHOLIC VOICES MEDIA MONITOR: Tony Blair compares Pope to Newman

In the Osservatore Romano, the former PM and Catholic convert writes that Pope Benedict XVI "is in profound harmony with the spirit and ideas of Newman", and shares his "intellectual courage".

Welcome to the Catholic Voices Media Monitor

This blog was created by the Catholic Voices project to record media coverage on the Church and related issues in the lead-up to the 16-19 September 2010 state visit by Pope Benedict XVI to the UK, as well as the visit itself and its aftermath.

It links to the good, the bad, the accurate and the inaccurate -- monitoring the journalism surrounding the visit. It also records what the Catholic Voices speakers' team, created to put the Church's case during the papal visit, has been saying in TV and radio studios, and in articles and other media.

Comments have been disabled, but feel free to email info@catholicvoices.org.uk with comments/suggestions.

For more details on the Catholic Voices project, recent TV and radio interviews, and how to book a speaker, see the Catholic Voices website, www.catholicvoices.org.uk.
