The US Conference of Catholic Bishops has released a response to JD Vance's comments about Pope Leo XIV: 'For over a thousand years, the Catholic Church has taught just war theory and it is that long tradition the Holy Father carefully references in his comments on war. A constant tenet of that thousand-year tradition is a nation can only legitimately take up the sword ‘in self-defense, once all peace efforts have failed’ That is, to be a just war it must be a defense against another who actively wages war, which is what the Holy Father actually said: ‘He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war. When Pope Leo XIV speaks as supreme pastor of the universal Church, he is not merely offering opinions on theology, he is preaching the Gospel and exercising his ministry as the Vicar of Christ. The consistent teaching of the Church is insistent that all people of good will must pray and work toward lasting peace while avoiding the evils and injustices that accompany all wars'

I never supported Israel to begin with. The very notion of backing a foreign government unrelated to me is absurd.

The book Vance publishes in June will be marketed as a story of grace and homecoming. It will, in fact, be the public record of a man who professes to have found God in the same Church he is now waging open war against. The cover tells the same story. Vance chose to photograph a Methodist church — not a Catholic one — for the front of a memoir about becoming Catholic. I think the design choice was deliberate. Vance wants to be president, and anti-Catholicism sits at the core of MAGA identity. A Methodist steeple softens the Roman problem for the Evangelical primary voters he needs to win in 2028; the pope-bashing of the last forty-eight hours is the same strategy turned up to full volume.
