This is a good way to get Catholics to vote for you as president. Throw out all the good parts of Catholic teachings.
Does he think he’s better at Catholicism than the Pope? Just declare yourself the Second Coming, JD.
Only MAGA Catholics are going to be impressed by his visit with the Pope. Non-MAGA Catholics will not be swayed by it to vote for him if he ever runs.
This. And bringing politics into religion is not a good look . . . separation of church and state is very American. Vance can be any religion he wants to be, but don't wear it on your sleeve in our pluralistic country.

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

I think he got through Easter and that was all he could really manage but he was probably so exhausted he really wanted to at least make Easter symbolically, the day of hope, worthwhile. He was a good guy.

My understanding is they met only because JD Vance cornered the Pope at a service. As usual, JD can only think about himself instead of someone trying to recuperate from pneumonia.
