Newtie is a ‘born again’ novus ordo, phony Catholic. New members like these continue to dilute the congregations as they are truly agnostics and believe in nothing.

Newt believed that his former marriages were negated by the very fact that he became a ‘Catholic’ while the very reverse is true. Church believes that joining the church in order to negate prior marriages is a SIN!

Sorry, Newtie, no White Hut and no absolution for a serial marriager.

Three wives three religious conversions. Good for him and it is up to him. But, he won’t be getting my vote.

The stupidity of elites at the WaPo never ceases to amaze me. I grew up attending a Methodist church with classes also at a Lutheran church. After marriage went to a Baptist church, Assembles of God and Presbyterian. So what?

I don’t get how a true Baptist can turn Catholic?

How is a person “born” Lutheran?

My mother was Methodist, my father Catholic. So was I born a Metholic? Or a Cathodist?

I’m so confused.

It’s very difficult to join the Catholic Church as an adult. It takes a lot of effort. You don’t just go down and sign up. It can easily take a year with lots of studying.
It has been my observation that the ones who get through the long process turn out to be very devout.

Just saying...

Melinda Henneberger of the Wapo isn’t a quality source for a conservative Christian to reference. Now, why was this article selected?

It is indeed comforting to know that our Godless friends in the media want to help us turn away from Newt because we need to be protected from his religious beliefs?

It doesn’t occur to these morons that for those who care about Newt’s religion this is old news and for those who don’t care about his religion this is NO NEWS!

Gingrich was born at the Harrisburg Hospital in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on June 17, 1943, as Newton Leroy McPherson. His mother, Kathleen “Kit” (née Daugherty; 1925–2003), and father, Newton Searles McPherson, married in September 1942, when she was 16 and McPherson was 19.

Appears his mother was possibly Irish Catholic - so he is returning to his roots.

His bio father was likely Scottish Presbyterian but did not raise him.

Maybe his adopted father (Gingrich) was the Lutheran???

Newt’s conversion is between himself and God.

Getting a religious assessment from the Washington Post is akin to getting a lesson in ethics from Madame Pelosi.
Both worthless, and couched in words intended to deceive.

Wait, didn’t Gingrich “become” Catholic to appease his wife. Hasn’t he always been open that his real religion is Tofflerism?

For all you "Holier-than-thou" Newt Haters, Rommey-Bots, LEFTIST TROLLS, Paul-inistas, and sundry other HYPOCRITES....

...who are dutifully posting ANY and ALL "Negative" articles/stories, etc. about Newt...this one takes the cake!

Allow me to remind all Christians of John 8:7

"And as they continued to ask him, He stood up and said to them:....

“LET HIM WHO IS WITHOUT SINE AMONG YOU BE THE FIRST TO THROW A STONE AT HER....."
