Gingrich Turns Catholic

Christianity Today Blog cites a deeply buried line in a NYT story announcing that Newt Gingrich will be converting to Catholicism. If that is according to normal scheduling, the formal recognition would occur on the night before Easter. Keep your ears open.

Newt's third wife, Callista Bisek is a likely inspiration for this change, though Newt has been studing this religion business for awhile, resulting in a 2006 book entitled "Rediscovering God in America".
