Vance converted in 2019-ish - or at least announced it then.

Vance’s comment was directed at USCCB - council of Catholic bishops. Cardinal Dolan, who spoke at the inauguration last week, had to make a statement defending the work they do with migrants.

He converted. My family also is Scots Irish but converted to Catholicism. But 100 years ago or so.

Vance is an opportunist.

I’ve been waiting for you cult members to turn on your churches.
Congratulations you’ve arrived.

Check your comprehension.


Nah babe. Check yourself. Vance isn’t attacking NGO’s. He is attacking the church.

He was attacking the USCCB, the Catholic Bishops' Conference, which is the US' highest authority of leadership within the Catholic Church. If they aren't Catholic, then who is, exactly? Certainly not JD Vance.

I wonder if the converts are worse that those brought up Catholic.


Possibly. As a cradle Catholic I am under no illusions as to where I fit in the hierarchy. I'm, as a lay person, at the bottom of it. So is Vance.

They are trying to transform the Catholic Church into something that is akin to the evangelical church.

This is the difference between a cradle vs. convert Catholic. I don't see the cradle Catholics wearing those doilies on their head.

I can see his wife having more and more contempt for him. Her face and his face told two different stories when they were listening to the bishop about immigrants.

It’s just so offensive to say the Catholic Church helps immigrants to make money off it and not because helping immigrants and the poor is a core part of Catholic teaching.

I’m sure all those people who were outreached by Gretchen Whitmer eating a potato chip will be equally outraged by this. /s
