      I’m actually surprised he converted to Catholicism in the first place. He’s nothing but a immortal opportunist. And it would have made more sense for him to join one of the firebrand evangelical protestant sects. Better voter appeal for his target voter base.

    And why would a US citizen do that?

    Obligatory, “JD Vance should stay out of Hungary’s affairs.”

    US citizens who were also born in the US and vote in US elections should stay out of US politics?

      Not to mention that trying to silence political critics just makes you look weak and like you know you’re wrong. It’s middle school bully behavior.

    Yeah, I don’t get how JD internalizes the Pope. For a Catholic, the Pope is supposed to be a/The voice of God. Looks like JD got no reverence for what God is trying to communicate.

    Really funny to see a man dedicate his life to these values just to see him say, “God, can you not give me guidance right now? I’m doing war stuff.”

      I think the big mistake is in thinking JD believes anything.

      He opposed Trump to get his name out there, and then supported him to become VP. Everything he does and says is just to appease people more important than him.

      He’s Catholic while opposing the Pope because that’s what Peter Theil (his major sponsor) does.

    Good start Vance, now do all religions.

    Like idk, your crazy fucking Armageddon obsessed Christian fascists? Maybe they should also stay out of US affairs… Consistency is too much to ask of them though. They live and breathe hypocrisy

    The Catholic Church should stay out of US affairs (I say for a very different reason to Vance)

    ^Catholic ^medical ^providers ^are ^banned ^from ^providing ^trans ^health ^care ^as ^of ^last ^November.

      And don’t/won’t provide the full spectrum of reproductive healthcare options to folks with ovaries.

      A reminder to move medical systems if you have access to an alternative to Catholic systems. Doesn’t matter how good you think your primary care provider is, they are complicit!
