Forgiveness requires repentance. Newt is not repentant. ("I'm sorry I got caught" doesn't count.)
Newt converted to Catholicism. As part of the process, it would have been necessary for him to go to Confession. It’s awfully presumptuous to determine whether someone has repented of a sin.
Newbie that is NOT your determination to make. Only God knows what’s in a man’s heart. I’d tread lightly. Free Republic supports Gingrich.
