Vice President JD Vance's recent comments regarding U.S. Catholic bishops' support for immigrants have reignited Republican criticism of the Catholic Church. Vance questioned the church's motivations, insinuating financial incentives behind their decades-long work with migrants. This prompted strong rebuttals from Catholic leaders like Cardinal Timothy Dolan and John Carr, who emphasized the genuine, humanitarian focus of the Church's mission. Their responses reflect ongoing tensions between political and religious domains, a conflict dating back to Donald Trump's first candidacy and Pope Francis' statements against immigration policies that harm vulnerable populations.
John Carr criticized Vice President JD Vance's remarks about the Catholic Church's work with immigrants, calling them false and suggesting they undermine the church's mission.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan responded strongly to Vance's comments about the church's motivations for helping migrants, deeming the remarks 'scurrilous' and 'nasty'.
