7. JD Vance has been Catholic just as long as a class of second graders who just took their First Communion.

JD Vance only converted to Catholicism in 2019. He's been Catholic just as long as a class of second graders who just took their First Communion.

If Vance disagrees with the actual pope, he's free to fuck off and find a yet another faith he can cynically exploit for his own political career.

This should be embarrassing for the Very Serious Conservative Catholics who carry water for this administration.
