Who is the Hypocrite?

Maureen Dowd's recent piece on Newt Gingrich was also a subtle dig at Catholicism.  It surely incited many anti-Catholic comments in her on-line page similar to those comments that I referred to my own post I did a few days ago about the comments about Shroud of Turin column in the UK telegraph.  I don't share Mr. Gingrich's views in Neo-conservative foreign views but the icy and malicious ad hominem hatchet job by Ms. Dowd focused on his religious conversion to Catholicism.  I know Ms. Dowd was raised as a Catholic but if she has faith or any doctrinal tenets I believe she would subscribe to the far left of the Episcopal Church. She is of an age of those converted to the lie of radical feminism in the 1970's who believed that all that gibberish about the overall superiority of women, children as a burden, etc.

I do not think Newt's conversion was a politically inspired act......who in their right mind can judge the intentions of another person especially in matters of the soul.  Also, conversion is a continuous process and Mr. Gingrich has only begun the journey.  He is an admitted sinner.......who is not a sinner?  I am sure that the unmarried Maureen has more than a few things that she has done over the decades that she would rather forget.....or remain unmentioned.  Unfortunately, Newt has been in the political limelight for over thirty years.......has he lied, has he had extra-marital affairs, etc.?  Yes, but so has Alexander Hamilton, Warren Harding, FDR, JFK and most famously of all, Bill Clinton.  At least he admits his sin openly unlike Clinton who continues his priapic adventures to the present day if the tabloids are to be believed.

The underlying theme to her column was personal disdain of Mr. Gingrich and Catholicism in general.  Conversion to Catholicism compounds his negativeness to the liberal and progressive crowd of the New York Times.  How could a rational person who wants to be President of the USA subscribe to a religion that opposes: homosexual and lesbian marriage; a woman's right to choose (to kill her offspring); women in the priesthood, etc.?  The NYT smiles at those Catholics such as Nancy Pelosi and Gov. Cuomo who live political lives divorced from the teachings of the Catholic faith but declare in public that their faith has no bearing on their political decisions.   Christ had one word for people like this....Hypocrites.

The liberal and progressive dogma has transformed into a form of neo-paganism.  Therefore, the Ten Commandments are not celebrated as the supreme wisdom but rather are openly mocked and denigrated by the agnostic neo-pagans in the USA and Europe.  Keep holy the Sabbath, take the Lord's name in vain, do not kill, covet your neighbor's wife and goods.......we are a society that celebrates the violation of the Ten Commandments.  Our celebrity culture is based upon this disavowal of God's laws.

I don't plan on voting for Newt Gingrich unless he is the GOP nominee versus Barack Obama.  I admit I would have to hold my nose but at the end of the day I would rather choose a repentant sinner rather than the current President who shares the values and disdain for Christian civilization as does the self hating Catholic raised Ms. Dowd.

BTW, the downward spiral of the New York Times continues............it does not help to mock God.
