  • Senate Confirms Callista Gingrich As U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See
    Senate confirms Callista Gingrich as U.S. ambassador to the Holy See WASHINGTON —The Senate confirmed Callista Gingrich as the new U.S. ambassador to the Holy See. Voting late Oct. 16, senators approved her nomination 70-23. More than 20 Democrats joined Republicans in supporting Gingrich, the wife of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a vocal ally of President Donald Trump. Gingrich, 51, a lifelong Catholic and a former congressional aide, has been president of Gingrich Productions, a multimedia production and consulting company in Arlington, Virginia, since 2007. She was expected to present her credentials at the Vatican in the coming weeks. Gingrich’s associates welcomed the vote. Among them was Msgr. Walter R. Rossi, rector of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, where Gingrich has been a longtime member of the choir. “Callista has been part of our shrine family for two decades and so, as any family rejoices when good news arrives, we rejoice with Callista,” Msgr. Rossi said in an Oct. 17 statement. “Both Callista and Speaker Gingrich are wonderful supporters of our ministry here at Mary’s shrine, most especially our music program. “More importantly, Callista has a great love for the church and our country,” he added. “Her faith is an integral part of her life and I am confident that her faith will be her solid foundation as she enters a new service to church and nation.” The Bethlehem University Foundation wished Gingrich “great success in her new role.” The Gingrichs have been foundation patrons, serving as advisers to its executive director and donors.

  • Gingriches' Film on Pope John Paul II Made As an 'Act of Devotion'
    Gingriches’ film on Pope John Paul II made as an ‘act of devotion’ SAN DIEGO – Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich seems to be everywhere these days. Turn on the Fox News Channel and you’ll find the former Republican congressman providing analysis of current political events. Stroll through the local bookstore and you’ll come across copies of his more than 20 books, including the recently released “To Save America: Stopping Obama’s Secular- Socialist Machine.” On top of it all, he is considering a run for the presidency in 2012. And in early June, Gingrich and his wife, Callista, were in Warsaw, Poland, and then Rome for the debut of their new documentary, “Nine Days That Changed the World.” It chronicles Pope John Paul II’s nine-day pilgrimage to Poland in 1979 and examines the event’s significant role in the fall of Soviet communism. “If you look at most of the secular history of the period, they don’t cover the impact of the church,” Gingrich said in a May 24 telephone interview with The Southern Cross, newspaper of the Diocese of San Diego. The couple made the documentary “almost as an act of devotion,” Gingrich said. He explained that the idea for the film came about while he and Callista were interviewing various Cold War icons for an earlier documentary on former President Ronald Reagan. The couple planned to discuss the film and other religious-themed projects of theirs when they address the Mother of Life Conference in San Diego Aug. 14. The main theme of their speech will be the moral and religious implications of today’s court rulings on such issues as abortion.
