And still, the public policies he is promoting are at odds with the teaching of the Catholic Church.

For example, he has promised to sign immoral, unconstitutional "fetal pain" legislation, given the chance.

When a politician's campaign rhetoric isn't consistent on core matters of principle, and doesn't line up with his actions, always believe the actions, not the words.

Fact is, Newt Gingrich won't do anything to stop the daily butchering of thousands of helpless, defenseless little boys and girls in this country, or put this free republic back on its moral foundations.

"In selecting men for office, let principle be your guide. Regard not the particular sect or denomination of the candidate — look to his character." -- Noah Webster

“There remains the one standard that has not yet been universally used, namely, the choosing of candidates on moral grounds. A nation always gets the kind of politicians it deserves. When our moral standards are different, our legislation will be different. As long as the decent people refuse to believe that morality must manifest itself in every sphere of human activity, including the political, they will not meet the challenge of Marxism. Contemporary history proves that modern political leaders, devoid of a moral inspiration and relying solely on a mass basis (might makes right), proves ineffectual in time of crisis." -- Fulton Sheen, “COMMUNISM and the CONSCIENCE of the WEST” -1948
