Gingrich’s Conversion

It is expected that Newt Gingrich will soon convert to Catholicism. It is not yet clear how his marital situation will be resolved as he is on his 'third marriage'. Of course, for his current arrangement to be a valid marriage - among other things - it would require that both his previous unions be invalid (i.e. not true marriages) and require that she also have no previous valid marriage. It is also not clear how he could be welcomed into the Church if he persisted in a gravely sinful situation (e.g. if either of his first two 'marriages' were deemed valid but yet he remained with his current 'wife'). His 'current wife' already professes to be Catholic. [3/10]
