How should we interpret the clash between Vice President JD Vance and Pope Francis over Christian values?

Pope Francis skipped the Vatican’s official meeting with Vice President JD Vance on Easter Saturday — instead, Pope sent his No. 2, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, to give Trump’s VP a lecture on compassion.

God works in mysterious ways, but this one looks pretty obvious: Vance came for a photo op — and the Vatican offered him a moral mirror instead.

Vance had an “an exchange of opinions” with Cardinal Pietro Parolin that touched on migration, the Vatican said in a statement.

That’s the definition of “serene diplomacy.”

Pope Francis previously called Trump’s cruel deportations a “disgrace” and a “grave sin.”

When the Pope ghosts you and sends a compassion lecture instead — you know you’ve strayed way too far from Christian values.


One is a 40old politician who has been described as “false prophet for Blue America”, with a political career in its neonatal state, and 2 years as a senator sponsoring 57 bills and co-sponsoring 288 bills – all failed to pass…who only became senator and vice president because of his populist streak, and Trump’s tendency to pick ambitious, spineless and highly influenceable lackeys…who claims his views are influenced by his faith in the catholic church…

The other? Was a 88old priest who became a priest in 1958 and has held offices of importance in the church since 1973…becoming famous for bringing atheists and other faiths to the discussion…for being a clever and highly compassionate individual who occupied the most important role in the catholic church for a little ovee than 12 years…

If you ask me how we should interpret the clash between Vance and the Pope, my answer can only be – what clash? It was just a petulant, arrogant, ill mannered hypocrite that converted to the catholic church trying to school the highest ranking priest in Vance’s adopted faith, but ended up being schooled in a manner usual by Pope Francis – clear, polite and concise..
