How can Vance even call himself a Catholic? I wonder what those priests who catechized think of his nast comments.

I had to go back and listen to the Face the Nation clip again, but he states he is a devout Catholic. But he was so cruel in the interview bc he believes all migrants are criminals that Americans need to be protected from them. That hurts my heart.

Was it the most recent Face the Nation? I wonder what he considers a devout Catholic to be. I’m still astounded that a priest isn’t talking to him about his comments.

It was the clip included in letters from Leo today. I don’t think it was the most recent one. If you didn’t watch it, you should. He comes across very rude.

Dominicans as arrogant as Vance

Hopefully not as arrogant as your comment.

I just believe it is arrogant for you to paint Dominicans arrogant. Dominicans have offered great treasures to the church for you to make that arrogant comment.

The handful that gave JD Vance “OCIA for dummies” made no positive contribution to the Church.

They have no control over how JD Vance lives his life. They could’ve taught him perfectly the teaching of the church, JD can still choose to do what he does.

And you know that as a fact.

Good question!

Tell Dolan to get his fireman’s hat and move on. As a FDNY chaplain, he could not clean the boots of Fr. Mychal Judge OFM +

I don’t trust Vance or his buddy Dolan. Dolan is a big Trump supporter, I think he’s just trying to curry favor with the pope. It won’t work.

Dolan should not appear anymore on TV. New York has a new real Catholic Archbishop!

How can a retired Cardinal curry favor with the pope? He is retired, maybe has found himself more freedom to share what he actually feels.

He called upon Franklin Graham to help him on the religious freedom ICE raids inside churches. That is an odd choice.

Please be very careful. I believe this regime wants to take down the Catholic Church. That's why JD Vance, the Heritage Foundation's poster child and heir, quietly became a Catholic a few years ago. Something is not right.

As each day passes, I can't believe the atrocities that occur in this nation. Our Nation! I pray for our Lord's intervention.

There is so much evil in the world today. My pray is that all hearts can be opened enough to love one another. There is so much division everywhere. Love is more powerful than hate.

A public insult is never remedied by a private apology. It does, however, reveal one’s true character

Oscar Jaramillo's avatar

Great point Duke! Why Vance did the “apology” on CNN interview with Dolan. They played those games so pathological well!

Suzanne Hutchinson's avatar

Joe’s comment below is right on! That sweet priests face in repose is seared in my mind! I would also say to Cardinal Dolan- too late my friend! Your wagon was hitched!

Oscar Jaramillo's avatar

Seems to be Vance finally went to confession and the priest who heard it assigned that talked with Dolan as PENANCE!!!

He appears to be “that” kind of Catholic. So so so bad example to the Church.

Joyful lent Vance!

Wait a minute, didn't Bishop Barron tweet about a month ago that, "more than any other president in my lifetime, Trump has recognized the importance of our "first freedom". He understands that when religious liberty is threatened, all of our other all of our other freedoms are endangered.". ??

Religious liberty apparently doesn't apply to brown skinned folks.

Bishop Barron has yet to mention the two deaths in Minneapolis Good and Pretti. These were his people. Never a word from him when the local legislator, husband abd dog were killed. He never speaks up on behalf of immigrants. I’ve changed my opinion of him.

Thank you for the article, Chris! Vice President Vance should be taken task for what he tried to do with , Pope Francis in trying to use DEI , on him just before his death. I will pray that even I can find it in my heart to forgive, at times it’s a hard task for all of us people who live in this country! I wonder 💭 how little, Juan Nikolas is doing in the detention facility in Dilly Texas! I will pray for Pope Leo ♌️ and everyone across America. Including those across the world!

JD missed an opportunity to demonstrate his faith by making a private apology.
