Did he get married in the Church? Somehow I doubt it.

Because his first marriage was of questionable validity, it may be annulled.
The fact that his second and third marriages occurred while his first marriages were putatively valid takes them out of consideration right off the bat—they’re both nullities in the eyes of the Church.

"If Newt is twice divorced how can he get married Catholic?"The Church doesn't recognize marriages that did not take place in the church, so they essentially never happened.
