Plans are being finalized for Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, and his wife Callista to visit Marquette on Tuesday, March 29.Marquette University
The Gingriches will present Nine Days that Changed the World, a documentary they produced about Pope John Paul II’s historic visit to Poland in 1979. The 7 p.m. screening of the film will include a presentation by Newt and Callista Gingrich, followed by a book signing by the Gingriches.
The free event will be open to all members of the Marquette community. Ticket availability, location and other information will be announced as soon details are available.
The student organizations sponsoring this event include the College Republicans, Democracy Matters, International Affairs Society, Knights of Columbus at Marquette, Les Aspin Center for Government Alumni Council, Phi Alpha Theta History Honor Society, Pi Sigma Alpha Political Science Honor Society and St. Robert Bellarmine Society.
I'd like to go, I'd even consider making the drive, but we have a baby on the way due around then. Badger Catholics, I think you should go and report back here! Newt converted to Catholicism in 2009. However you feel about him politically, I think the movie might be a good watch.
