Snicker
Having been raised Catholic and now being a born again Christian, I can’t help but notice that Newt talked a lot about the Catholic church but did not mention Jesus.
How can one become Catholic when he is an adulterer?
Just threw up in my mouth a little.

Don't they believe Christianity is bad and abortion is a sacrament?
No thought of all to the prior wives he had cheated on? No repentance, no shame?
What a pig this guy this is...

Why is it that every time a catholic posts a conversion story, so many folks are ugly and critical? Is that what Christ taught? If this man finds that the Catholic Church leads him closer to Christ, then what’s that to you? All I see here is anger, not the love of Jesus.
Come on Newt, tell the truth. Callista has you on a leash. Everybody can see it. You make a fool of yourself every time you speak of her. Callista wants a shopping trip you cannot afford, you say go ahead. Callista apparently writes a children’s book, you make a fool of yourself everywhere, extolling it as the greatest book ever written. Whatever Callista wants, Callista gets. Hey Newt, I could have written this article for you in one sentence. Here it is. My wife has a firm grip on my manhood, thus I converted. But you are not the only one, that Limbaugh fellow also makes a fool of himself when it comes to his wives also.
Would you buy a used religion from this man?
Since his conversion, what I have seen from him is grotesque chutzpah as he has denied his despicable treatment of his ex-wife and even tried to paint serial adultery as a consequence of his intense love of country.“There’s no question that at times in my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard, and that things happened in my life that were not appropriate.”For the sake of argument, let’s completely check our brains at the door and believe this disgusting excuse for his double treason toward his family. What conclusion should we draw from it? My conclusion is, “For the sake of his soul, never let this man near power again just as I would never reassign a pedophile priest to work with children again.” But according to Newt, the solution to the corrupting effects of power that, by his own admission, led to his downfall is to make him the most powerful man on earth........I remember the Gingrich conservatives who said of the phonily contrite Bill Clinton, “If a man will lie to and betray his own wife, why should you think he will tell the truth to his constituents?”

....when he spoke on Dobson's radio show in 2007, Gingrich refused to say that he was actually repentant. The evangelical leader repeatedly pressed him on that point: "When I hear you talk about this dark side of your life...you didn't mention repentance. Do you understand that word repentance?"

"Mrs. Gingrich #2 was dumped after her husband had carried on an extramarital affair with a fetching, blond congressional staffer named Callista Bisek, who went on to become the present Mrs. Gingrich #3. This Family Values paradigm was complicated by the fact that whilst Mr. Gingrich was filibustering Ms. Bisek over the Speaker’s desk, he was simultaneously leading the impeachment charge against a naughty president of the United States....The much-married Newt Gingrich converts to Catholicism this weekend—and I’d pay a year’s salary to have been a bug on the wall during his religious instruction."
