Newt Gingrich is coming into the Church this Easter

David Gibson calls it "one heckuva parenthetical aside buried in the NYT Magazine's lengthy profile of Newt Gingrich" (and here it is in its entirety):

(A Baptist since graduate school, Gingrich said he will soon convert to Catholicism, his wife's faith.)

AmericanPapists won't be surprised - I was mentioning the likelihood back in November that he would convert this Easter.

Let's pray for him during his Lenten journey into the Catholic Church.
