I’ve learned to be cynical regarding Gingrich through hard lessons over the past decade or so. Finger to the wind. Is Callista teaching him Spanish, too?

Watch your back Benedict!

I say, Welcome Home Mr. Newt. I am very pleased. You all should come home too.

[PeanutbutterandJellybean]

hmmm, could this conversion have anything to do with any future presidential aspirations

Pretty judgmental group we got here. Amazing how they can look into a man’s soul. For the Christians here, remember that it was a thief that died alongside him and joined him that day in heaven.

So back off, lest ye be judged with the same lack of compassion and reconciliation you want to give Gingrich and Blair.

Newt and Gov. Sanford are on message, above all others. They both have limitations- but Newt has the edge right now, imo.

Well, I’ve scrolled down and read all the responses.

The main thing about Newt is whether he is sincere. I think he is. None of us can get into his mind and his heart and his soul, but God Himself. I do pray that this is a true conversion. If so, then Jesus can forgive him for past trangressions, and the rest is not our business. After all, we must remember Peter, who denied Jesus three times, yet was considered the first among the apostles; and then there is Paul who persecuted the first Christians and witnessed the stoning of Stephen without stopping it. Yet, Jesus chose Paul, the Pharisee, to become Apostle to the Gentiles and the writer of all the major epistles. So, we should not judge Newt’s Christian soul, because maybe we might also be judging the work of the Holy Spirit!

The church has to look into the validity of the marriages as Sacramental or not. I know Newt was not baptized at the time of his first marriage to a woman who was several years older than he was. Besides, I think she has passed away, so that marriage would not be of concern any longer. The second marriage would be the one to be studied.

I find it interesting, that many leaders are moving toward Catholicism.....I myself , have been distant do to some reservations over fund raising and activities of the church.

I never left god I just began to have reservations,I'll not discuss here, but the movement to the church is intriguing.

[La Enchiladita]

Welcome home, Newt, and God bless you.
My congratulations as a convert of one year.
Easter has always been special; now it is moreso.

“I have become increasingly drawn to Catholicism over the past several years while attending Mass with my wife, Callista,” Gingrich tells Newsmax. “ After prayer and reflection, I believe this is where God has led me. I’m looking forward with great joy to being received into full communion with the Catholic Church.”

You man the same Callista that he was having an affair with while still married to his second wife?

[Mr. Mojo]

Gingrich, a Baptist since college

How about before college?

[Clintonfatigued]

This is an interesting development. I remember that the late Lee Atwater also converted. I join all other Freepers in wishing the Speaker well.
