JD Vance is in a tough spot. Donald Trump is openly beefing with Pope Leo XIV, who last week took exception with the president openly threatening to commit a civilization-ending genocide on the people of Iran. To summarize the Pope’s position: killing a country is not What Jesus Would Do.
Unfortunately for Vance, he’s a committed Catholic, meaning his values should be torn between his boss and his spiritual leader. Vance has tried to shrug this off, saying that “it would be best for the Vatican to stick to matters of morality.” Maybe take your own advice, JD, as this administration is sorely lacking in anything approaching “morality” right now.
