My Catholic faith teaches me that I must forgive others as I ask God to forgive me.

” Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.”

Maybe I haven't paid close enough attention, but when and to whom did Newt ask for forgiveness?

I am more than willing to forgive one who is repentant, but I haven't seen that from Newt.......and I've seen a lot of him.

If you have a link or quote to indicate that what he did was sin, I'd like to see it.

I'm serious. The moral infidelity is a BIG problem for me when I look at a presidential candidate. It goes to character, commitment and honor, and I can't let it slide.

Of course, it is not just Catholics who recite that prayer -- one might hope that as Christians of any denomination, we also live it and do not just recite it. Sometimes we forget that it is telling us if we want Him to forgive us, we must forgive others.
