I actually don’t care about his marital issues.
What bothers me more is over the last 10 years he has revealed himself to be an opportunist and a man that has no real core conservative values.
He is one of the smartest men around with an extremely high intellect but I remain unconvinced I should support him.
He’s not too smart - he knows the Catholic thinking now and he still doesn’t try to practice it here - to fail happens - and forgiveness is given if asked for, with the promise that he would try his best to never fail again (try). For him to say it wasn’t hypocritical TODAY is as silly and telling as his argument. He should admit the obvious - he fell, he sinned, it was hypocritical, and he promises God he will do his utmost to never do such again. He’s still covering for his sin. That means he still doesn’t get it - he’s hypocritical still, this guy cannot be trusted wherever his skin is at stake.
