[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently the bar is very low in terms of who the pope/Vatican will meet with.

“The Vatican has one golden rule, ‘We talk with everyone, dictators, good Catholics, anyone,’” said Massimo Faggioli, Catholic theologian at Villanova University.[/quote]

I believe Trump had a similar practice in meeting with leaders like Kim Jong Un, President Xi, etc... as well as other politically controversial people, but was lambasted for doing so.

Or did you just pick that quote because it makes you look clever. For the record, JD Vance is a good Catholic. [/quote]

I am Catholic. If you were, you would know that "a good Catholic" is not a thing. Certainly not a title a random internet poster can determine.

I am happy that the Pope met with JD Vance. He will speak frankly to Vance about the horrific things this administration is doing. This may be the one time, Vance will willingly agree to listen to anyone who criticizes his views.

I will not judge whether Vance is a "good Catholic" or not. But I will say, that besides disobeying the Supreme Court and disregarding our Constitution, JD Vance and the Trump administration are going against so many parts of Catholic teaching that I can't possibly list them. I'll leave it with just this one: Catholic teaching emphasizes the dignity of all human life.[/quote]

Do you feel the same about Biden, Pelosi, and other Catholic Democrats?  They support numerous positions that are against Catholic teachings.[/quote]

Honestly - it is one thing to be born Catholic and disagree with some teachings. Quite another one to convert opportunistically or because you fancy incense and Latin, then start to lecture everyone about how your view of Catholicism is correct and they need to be excommunicated. [/quote]
