Callista Gingrich Reminds Me of My First Mother-in-Law
She does. She's now Ambassador to the Holy See. My Mother-in-Law did not rise to such a high level, but she was something of a prominent person in her Catholic Parish. She liked priests, too. A lot.
Now, she didn't have physical affairs with those priests or anything like that, but she sure was attentive to their needs. She invited them over for dinner on a regular basis, and prepared complex, savory meals that she never made for her family. She doted on the priests who came and went in her parish.
She bought them costly vestments and the like, too. She wrote letters praising her favorites to the Bishop. She always had a favorite priest, usually a young, handsome one who was there for a couple of years and then was replaced by another handsome young priest.
My ex mother-in-law was a priest groupie. There's a least one in every parish. It's a romantic sort of infatuation, but without any need for physical contact. Oh, no! She never thought of such a thing, I'm sure. But she had warm, warm feelings for her favorite priests.
Sometimes, it was downright embarrassing, but most of her favorites accepted her generosity and devotion without complaint.
Callista Gingrich strikes me as such a person. I'm sure she will have fine entertainments and dining opportunities there in Rome. There are so many nice priests there who need her attention. Yes, indeed. All completely platonic, of course and charitable.

She couldn't be more exited. She's probably trembling a little, even. Beads of moisture dot her upper lip.
