Gingrich had no business joining the Catholic church if he doesn’t agree with Catholic doctrine. Perhaps he should just leave. And I don’t think he’ll make any friends in the pro-life community with this talk that life begins at implantation.
Thank the Lord that it entirely possible to govern this country as a Constitutionalist, while at the same time trying to live one's life based on the teachings, vaules and opinions of the Catholic Church. Otherwise, a President Gingrich should be expected to award clemency to virutally every capital appeal that came across his desk, and to avoid military interventions like the one we engaged in in Afghanistan. Can't have it both ways.
I think that we conservatives think too big sometimes. Where the Left has been implementing their policies bit by bit until they get what they want, we are an all-or-nothing mentality. This may not be 100% what we want, but it is a big step in the right direction. Baby steps, he is wise taking baby steps right now. We will get there....
