Let’s pray for a sincere conversion for Newt Gingrich. It is none of our business how the Church handles his personal matters.

I think the man is brilliant. I would love it if he had such clarity on personal issues that he has on political issues. Everyone is a work in progress, I guess. I know I am!

I suppose.

But more than anything, it seems to me that the man never had a real beliefs; and I thought he did. Sad.

Become a Catholic! That should finish his chances to be the GOP candidate - never happened.

I pray that it is a true conversion, not just to placate his wife. My wife stuck by me for 19 years before I converted. Never pushed, never nagged, nothing overt. I’m so glad I did it because it was my choice, my decision, and came from a real conversion of the heart and mind.

I heard the Pope is going to give him all of Scotland if he converts?

We should pray for his continuing conversion and for him being able to order his private life accordingly.

He is a brilliant man.

Remember St. Augustine had “personal” issues as well, but he made a wonderful addition to the Church.

My wife and me were at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception several years ago and as we were walking through the cafeteria we recognized a voice...it was Newt in all his glory.

This is no surprise to me.

Amazing how some of the Baptists think Gingrich belonged to them. LOL

I am very happy for Newt and his family.

I guess this means he will never be POTUS.

FWIW, I see him at the Shrine (The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception) on a very regular basis and have seen him attending Mass there for years (on Holy Day masses usually).

First I would like to let all Catholics know this is not a knock on them, but on what appears to be a shallow level of the convictions of Mr. Gingrich. Being a baptist myself, there certain beliefs that would not allow me to convert to Catholicism.
I am not saying baptist are right and catholics are wrong or vice versa, but I think if you have core beliefs you should stand by them and not change for political expediency which appears to me what he is doing.

What a farce. What kind of Catholic, not to mention Christian, is she if she “married” someone who was taking her as his third? Or is he getting his first two marriages “annulled”? Farcical.
