[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know JD Vance personally, but I read his book.

He grew up outside of an organized church. His father was a fundamentalist Christian. I can see why he settled on becoming Catholic once he was old enough to set his own path.

It’s not a political choice. It’s personal. If it wasn’t, he wouldn’t have been Confirmed.[/quote]

I find it odd people think he converted to Catholicism for political reasons. I can't think of one thing a politician would gain by being a Catholic convert.[/quote]JFK was Catholic.  When Vance runs for president in 2028, he can draw in the minds of Americans a picture that he is the next JFK. [/quote]

Not now that he killed the Pope he can’t.[/quote]

Imagine being so awful and yet so powerful that the Pope decides he needs to fit you in on his last full day on the planet, the day before Easter. [/quote]

Oh snap!  From everything that I’ve heard about Pope Francis, he would have been horrified by Vance, his priorities, and the kind of person that Vance clearly is (see his egregious and deliberately public treatment of Zelenskyy for just one example.) I think that Vance meeting with the Pope was an appalling overstep, given the Pope’s health struggles.  Pope Francis was known for loving humanity as well as for his sense of humor. I’ve also heard that as a young man, he worked as a bouncer.

What if this loving, ailing man, with a sense of humor and a sense of his own place in history, thought to himself: “You know, if I time this right…”.            Bounce.
