Prayers for Newt, although I find his politics abhorrent, I hope his conversion goes smoothly and that his previous divorces do not cause hinderance.

Prayers for Newt. May he become a strong Catholic and an eloquent witness of Catholicism. Many of his ideas have been quite excellent over the years.

OH I agree, with Jeb Bush being Catholic, and if you ever noticed in their private living quarters was an icon of the Theotokos. Too, the attention they gave the Pope. Also, Tony Blair converting. I really think we are going to see a lot more notable figures coming into the Catholic Church.

I hope the canonical impediments to his conversion have been or is being taken care of.
Gaining one politico of Mr. Gingrich's caliber somehow dissipates the acrid taste we have for Ted Kennedy, Kerry, Pelosi, Sebellius, VP Biden, and their ilk!
(Bobby Jindal, the newly elected Indian-American governor of Louisiana and who delivered the Republican response to the recent address of Pres. Obama to Congress, is a Cathlic convert from Hinduism!)
Welcome home Newt!

I'm hoping Barack Obama is the next one, he's enlightened on many issues, now if he would just be illuminated regarding abortion and marriage... !
