Gingrich: Ave Maria to help Catholic-based legal system replace left, secular judicial branch
Naples Daily News ^ | 11/19/2010 | KELLY FARRELL

NAPLES — Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich spoke of the importance Ave Maria School of Law will have in replacing the current liberal, secular legal system during the law school’s 10th Anniversary celebration held at the Naples Ritz Carlton Beach Resort on Friday night.

The potential 2012 presidential hopeful converted to Roman Catholicism in 2009, which is the same year the law school relocated from Ann Arbor, Mich., to Naples.

The law school’s students would be prepared to write the laws, defend the laws and defeat the left, Gingrich said. The modern, secular law, he said, can be seen every few minutes on TV.

“Ads on television, basically say ‘do you know somebody with money we could mug together?’ …Call…’” Gringrich said.

This school matters, he said, by replacing the “neutral technology for the redistribution of wealth” with a morally-based legal system.

why on earth would a man interested in political advancement in America become a Catholic when the Catholic Church is so clearly under attack here - unless it was a genuine conversion?

The people who attack the Catholic Church are the ones who would never vote for him anyway, so no harm done there. It does give him street cred with some religious conservatives (as long as they forget his checkered past).

False. Biden is a CINO. Newt gives every indication of actually taking the faith seriously on issues such as abortion. When has a pro-life Catholic held national office in this country? When has a Catholic Republican held national office in this country? Hint: NEVER. Are you starting to see a pattern yet?

First you said Catholic without qualifiers.
Then you said Catholic converts.
Now it’s Republican Catholics that meet your definition of Catholic.
Did Republican’s ever nominate a Catholic presidential or vice presidential candidate? No.
Are you saying the GOP is prejudiced against Catholics? I think such bigots are exist but are few and far between.

Newt’s a convert.

Newt’s a convert.

Newt’s a Republican Catholic.

“Did Republican’s ever nominate a Catholic presidential or vice presidential candidate? No.”

That goes along with what I am saying.

“Are you saying the GOP is prejudiced against Catholics?”

Historically, yes. Look at how the GOP treated Al Smith.

“I think such bigots are exist but are few and far between.”

Perhaps.
