Thank you. I don’t think he’s a mason either, and can’t find much to support that assertion. I’ll have to find out where she got that information.
Masonry is anathema to the Roman Catholic Church. I know devotion to the faith of the Church to the insidious advances inside the Church are largely lost in the Western version of “Catholicism”, particularly in Europe, but also in the USA and Canada.
All this is to say that Newt Gingrich could not have been received into the Church if it were known by the Church that he was a Mason. There is no official bio on Newt that indicates such a thing, in the first place, at least that I have ever seen.
But, fake news and fake revelations are in vogue now and the Left and their sympathizers are cunning and educated on where it is most effective to strike. A disgruntled Catholic or a dissenter to the Church would know how to slander Newt in his relationship with the Church.
