Please, God. We need you to do some smiting.

How do you know he didn’t have his kids baptized?

We know he did not have his kids baptized because of this--his son was 7 when he chose to be baptized.

If he misses mass on Sundays and holidays days of obligation, it's a mortal sin, no matter his schedule.

Actually, that's not exactly true. The Church says that the obligation to attend Mass is lifted in three types of situations. If you are ill. If you are facing a situation where not attending is the morally right thing to do (e.g. if you planned to attend Sunday morning Mass, but got called in to perform emergency surgery, then obviously saving the life is the right thing to do. If your wife is in labor, then being with her and supporting her is morally the right thing to do. I could imagine that there would be situations when a VP or President must attend to urgent business, and that staying with that business is the morally right thing to do. Finally, if you have a dispensation from your parish priest, or your bishop, again something he might have.

Having said that, I would imagine that there are priests who would be willing to celebrate a private Mass at the VP's residence etc . . . that work around his schedule.

Note: I can't stand Vance. I hate so many things that he does. I hope the Pope excommunicates him. But, as a Catholic, I don't think that announcing that he's not Catholic is fair. The reality is that, like every other religion, there are people in the Catholic church who make terrible choices. As Catholics, our obligation is to examine our church to see what we might be doing that contributes to those terrible choices, and to try to solve the problems those terrible choices lead to. Announcing that he's not Catholic, is like sticking our fingers in our ears. It's not going to lead to solutions.

Not to mention, whatever sin Vance might commit by not attending Mass, if in fact he has missed without illness, grave situation, or dispensation, pales in comparison to the sins he's helped this administration commit against vulnerable humans made in the image of God.

Seems like it should be a sin to even be the VP of Trump, who is so obviously an atheist. I should say that some, maybe most, atheists are decent people, but Trump is not one of those. He is taking advantage of religious people by pretending to be one of them.

Apparently the Pope gave Vance 17 whole seconds in a receiving line but conducted longer meetings with other world leaders. This followed a service where the Pope sermonized, “In this our time, we still see too much discord, too many wounds caused by hatred, violence, prejudice, the fear of difference, and an economic paradigm that exploits the Earth’s resources and marginalizes the poorest.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/pope-leo-xiv-snubs-jd-vance-as-he-meets-with-world-leaders/

I could make a long list of things that Vance has done that are not in keeping with the teachings of the Catholic Church. But not forcing his wife to convert is definitely not on that list. Forcing your wife to convert is very much against Catholic teaching.

Well, given that half of my family converted in order to marry other Catholics, the entirety of Catholic practice over the course of the last 1500 years would like a word with you.
