Pope Francis Should Reject Callista Gingrich

[No Vested Interest]

12. Assuming Gingrich was validly baptized in the Christian faith, all other things being valid,

his first marriage would have been valid.
First wife died; therefore he was no longer married and was free to remarry.

Second marriage was not valid, for reasons I don't recall - I think it had to with second wife's marriage status.
Marriage not valid; therefore there never was a marriage; annulment= no marriage.

Marriage to Callista, whom I believe had never been married.

Assumption is made that both Newt and Callista confessed past sins and were contrite and sins were forgiven, as proscribed by Christ's words, "Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; whose sins you shall retain, they are retained." John 20:23.

Therefore, Pope Francis will accept the ambassadorial credentials of Callista Gingrich.
