"Vance besets us like the 11th plague—the plague of media appearances. He really did tell a Maga-faithful conference: I think it's very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology."
"Vance's pick-me book on his journey to Catholicism has yet to even be published. That tome currently lies in the rectum of HarperCollins, ready to be excreted in June."
"Historically, there have been many ways to register disapproval with the Vatican leadership. Martin Luther famously nailed his 95 theses to a church door; Trump spaffed his on to Truth Social after his TV made him angry again."
JD Vance is portrayed as a leading figure among Trump's supporters, often making alarming public appearances. Unlike Stephen Miller, who remains hidden, Vance is frequently in the spotlight. He has made questionable theological comments, advising the pope on matters of theology despite his own book on Catholicism not yet being published. Vance's interactions with the Vatican have drawn historical comparisons, suggesting he may align with secessionist Catholic views. His presence and statements contribute to a perception of him as a significant and troubling figure in contemporary politics.
