HERE IS HIS FAMOUS QUOTE:
“When the time comes, as it surely will, when we face that awesome moment, the final judgment, I’ve often thought, as Fulton Sheen wrote, that it is a terrible moment of loneliness. You have no advocates, you are there alone standing before God – and a terror will rip your soul like nothing you can imagine. But I really think that those in the pro-life movement will not be alone. I think there’ll be a chorus of voices that have never been heard in this world but are heard beautifully and clearly in the next world – and they will plead for everyone who has been in this movement. They will say to God, ‘Spare him, because he loved us!’”
Congressman Henry Hyde
Re: the adultry. This was made public by the Clintons during the impeachment hearings/Monica Lewinsky. Congressman Hyde admited it happened years ago, he said he was both shamed
and remorseful. He indicated he reconciled himself w/ both “man and God”. He did not justify it or attempt to explain it away with “it was just sex” or “lots of people are guilty of this” type of sin. Nor did he use the occasion to expose other peoples sins and transgressions. I would argue he is a hero; he admitted his mistakes w/out excuses, sought forgiveness, picked himself up and lived an honorable life.
