Both Kennedy and Gingrich use the Catholic church as a shield. Neither cares/cared about truth. Furthermore, approaching our world problems by enlistment of the church in political problems is like eating with your butt - wrong approach, indeed. We need revival - all else is a holding action in what is essentially a spiritual war.
Newt’s position is signifying the final break of Catholics from the Dims towards teh GOP — just as in Canada
Have you read Gingtich’s book about John Paul II? I think he knows what the truth is?
