Newt is your guy. He is a follower of Christ. I believe he always has been. Lately a convert to Catholicism. While I have my problems with the Catholic Church, I do believe they are true Christians, (unlike some other faiths that “claim” to be).
Newt has claimed repentance and I accept him at his word. You should as well, if you are a true Christian.
Electing a “pope” is just hyperbole, to make a point, and you should realize that.
While your post was to PSYCHO-FREEP, and not to me, and I am not speaking for him, but I think it is your post that is nonsensical not his.
Marrying your mistress is not the same thing as repentence. Repentence would be returning to the wife that you wronged and saying you were wrong to cheat on her.
But then what do I know? I’m just a Catholic.
BTW- the Pope is the Vicar of Christ on earth. He’s considered to be a moral paragon at least for Catholics.
LOL! Careful, don’t get that one started again.
To tell the truth, I am as concerned with Newt's flirtations with the left regarding global warming, etc. than I am with his immoral past, as long as he has repented (which he claims he has, and others who know him also support). I hope both his moral and politcal wobbliness are behind him.
What I have rejected, and you consider 'nonsense,' is the idea that looking for morality in a candidate is stupid......looking for one to lead us who submits to God's leadership. That goal has been belittled repeatedly by anti-Santorum folks.
I assume you don't really believe that, and if you don't, then we are in agreement, and you are as nonsensical as I am.
