I have to admit that I had thought of Vance and Vought and their weird perverted interpretation of ordo amoris. Per Pope Francis, the point to not only focus on those that are close to you, but to extend your care and love to those outside your circle. Vought and the GOP want to extend their hate and disdain to those outside their circle.
When I look at Vance and Vought, I see a pair of men that have no gratitude for their good fortune. How else can one explain what they're doing? Apparently it's not enough for Vance to become wealthy. In order to scratch whatever itch he's dealing with, he has to sign onto the undoing of the world order that enabled him to become wealthy to begin with. Same with Vought. As for their "faith", it's a self serving fig leaf which they use to provide cover for committing by any objective measure acts of evil. When Tom Nichols did his Screwtape homage in these pages six years ago, Screwtape noted, "Convincing humans to do evil in the name of the Enemy is still one of our finest maneuvers, and you will find it highly enjoyable."
My hope is one day that those two will get what's coming to them, spiritually and morally.
And then the entire world.

Yes.
