I’m just saying - repentence means turning away from sin. Marrying your mistress is not the same thing as repentence - you are doubling down.
You wouldn’t give Mark Sanford a pass if only he married his mistress it would make it all right - no. You’d side, and rightfully so, with his lawful wife.
Nobody forced Newt to marry. Newt chose, of his own free will to get married. Newt may have regretted his choice of a wife, but the time to discern that is before, not after you get married.
The Catholic church has a radical understanding of marriage, unlike most. Marriage, all marriage is for life.
I’m Catholic and you are wrong. Not all marriages are for life. Do you know when Newt converted to Catholicism?

That’s a LIE!
The Church would not consider Newt’s marriage to Marianne to be valid, since he was divorced.
The marriage to Jackie Battley is a different matter. Since that marriage is annulled, do you consider that annulment to be inproper?
