The article discusses the current clash between Catholic traditionalist J.D. Vance and Pope Francis concerning immigration policies. Vance, after converting to Catholicism, criticized U.S. bishops for their support of undocumented immigrants and framed his argument around the concept of 'ordo amoris,' advocating a hierarchy of love prioritizing family and community. In response, Pope Francis's encyclical reinforces the Church’s commitment to migrant assistance, directly challenging Vance's interpretation of Catholic values, reflecting a significant divergence in contemporary Catholic thought on social issues, particularly regarding the treatment of migrants.
Pope Francis's recent encyclical emphasizes the obligation of U.S. bishops to assist migrants, directly challenging the 'America First' stance advocated by J.D. Vance.
Vance's declaration of an ordo amoris reflects a hierarchy of love, prioritizing family and community over international compassion, clashing with the Church’s broader mission.
