In an interview on ?Fox News Sunday? following his loss in the South Carolina Republican presidential primary, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney may have taken a dig at former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich when questioned on his 10 percent tithes to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
?This is a country that believes in the Bible, the Bible speaks about providing tithes and offerings, I made a commitement to my church a long, long time ago that I would give 10 percent of my income to the church, and I?ve followed through on that commitment. And hopefully as people ? various individuals running for president ? they?d be pleased with someone who made a promise ? a promise to God ? and kept that promise. So, if I had given less than 10 percent than I think people would have to look at me and say, ?Hey, what?s wrong with you fella ? don?t you follow through on your promises???
The ?promise to God? line could be specifically?stinging, given that Gingrich ? a Catholic convert ? was hit last week with further revelations on his three marriages, with his second ex-wife saying that he had asked for an open relationship with her while cheating with a younger congressional aide.
