Callista Gingrich

"The United States is funding NGOs and faith-based organizations that can effectively deliver critical assistance. It's important that American money be put to good use. Faith-based organizations are effective and trustworthy partners. They're inspired by a sense of purpose and dedication to help those most in need."

"Given the hyper-polarized atmosphere in the U.S., it may be impossible for anyone to look upon Gingrich without refracting perceptions through their opinions about the president she served, or the husband she supports. But seen from here in Rome, I suspect she'll be remembered fairly fondly – and, given the circumstances, that alone can't help but seem a fairly impressive résumé credit."
