A little "oops" in the Chicago Tribune

The Chicago Tribune's foreign correspondent, Tom Hundley, has an article in today's edition about former British prime minister Tony Blair and his conversion to Catholicism. He's wrong on one fact:

Mistrust of Catholics and Catholicism is nothing new in Britain, which has had a Jewish prime minister (Benjamin Disraeli) but never a Catholic.

Disraeli's parents were Jews, but Queen Victoria's beloved "Dizzy" was baptized into the Church of England as an infant.
