Summary
Pope Francis skipped the Vatican’s official meeting with J.D. Vance Saturday, instead having his No. 2 give the vice president a lecture on compassion, according to a Vatican statement.
The statement said there was “an exchange of opinions on the international situation… with particular attention to migrants, refugees, and prisoners.”
Pope Francis has repeatedly rebuked the president’s mass deportation effort, calling it a “disgrace” and a “grave sin.”
The Pope corrected a Catholic concept Vance had invoked to defend the administration’s deportations, ordo amoris (order of love). In a February letter, Francis pointedly explained, “Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests that little by little extend to other persons and groups.”
Catholics make up only about 25% of the US population. US Americans also seem to have their own flavor of Christianity, where being nasty and cruel to your neighbor and killing everything you don’t like weirdly is part of their beliefs.
I don’t know about that. Christians, particularly the Catholic Church have a long history persecution. The Albigensian Crusade was against European Christian “Cathars”. When the Crusade to the “Holy Land” kicked off, the first thing they did was march through Germany murdering Jews. The Inquisition, the slaughter and enslavement of American natives, those were all Europeans.
Oh, the nasty and cruel ones are the “good Christians.” Haven’t you heard?
Religion is a joke.
The idea that jd Vance respects religion is laughable.
He treats religion like anyone else. Discards when convenient.
Uses it as a club to punish people HE doesn’t like.
The pope should do something drastic like order his totally existing “devout” catholic folllowers to rise up against fascism.
Because that’s what Catholics did in ww2 right?
And Catholics listen to the pope right?
It’s not all lip service as an excuse to persecute minorities right?
“The Nazis may be bad, but at least they are not Communists”
The Vatican’s top brass during WWII
I’m sure a historian will chime in, but I seem to remember there was quite a lag before the Church spoke up against what was going on in WW II. Maybe you were saying that sarcastically? And I honestly don’t recall without looking it up.
There was some lag, but they came out in support of the nazi and fascist movements initially. Specifically the pope supported Mussolini for the first few years and he would not have achieved nearly the level of success he did with fascism had it not been for the churches support.
Did he say thank you?
LOL, the pedos have the moral high ground. Like, not joking here.
JD went there to see how to make inquisition great again
As the Cardinal spoke to him Vance listened to the carnival music that plays in his head and thought about all the sexy historical couches the Vatican houses.
Vance doesn’t have his own personality, so it’s not going to change anything. Nice snub though lol
Even if he did, he wouldn’t change. American catholics generally don’t like the pope or the vatican. There was even an Italian archbishop in the US who turned full maga and ended up being excommunicated.
Most American Catholics don’t seem to like this Jesus fella, either.

Papal infallibility, baby-faced couch fucker.
That animated thumbnail though 🤣
Vance should say thank you.
James Donald Bowman is a human cockroach and the pope should excommunicate his ass.
And i will deadname him in every thread I come across

Since when? Looking at history, that seems exactly what it’s always been about.
