The Washington Post did a piece today on Vance’s conversion to Catholicism in 2019, after being an evangelical, then atheist. He loves the pre- Vatican church…which is the now leaning conservative church ,complete with the Latin mass, et al. I grew up in that but was fortunate to be associated and worked throughout my life with the great social justice priests and church of the 60’s and 70’s which has died out. Much of the church, itself, is fighting Francis. Opus Dei, the far right of the church, origins in France, heavily associated with by Heritage Foundation, and Supreme Court Justices.
I identify with your past, Laura, and especially with a reverence for those priests who worked and sacrificed their lives to bring aid to those suffering from oppressive and unjust regimes.
Vance's chameleon-like connection to religions seems just like his connections to politics. I haven't read the WP article, so thanks for the reference. I would think that Democratic researchers would be able to write a strong offense for Harris and her surrogates to help deflate any growing appeal JD is gaining among the "integralism" believers who are working against Francis.
Within the Vatican, itself, it is filled with conservatives who are blatantly opposed to Francis. One has been excommunicated by Francis. There is so much going on with American bishops who oppose Francis’ social agenda, especially as it pertains to third world Catholics , LBGT, divorce, and the list goes on. The former pope, Benedict, had an opposition group doing his work against Francis while Benedict was still alive, but retired. There is so much within the top levels. Read the reasons which attract Vance. Same as those cardinals and bishops who are so against Francis’ world view. The point is that our politics and religious forces lean very right…and have enormous influence in this country.
