Clearly, Mr. Vance's Catholic formation is still a work in progress.
Someone might encourage him to read and reflect on:

Let us pray for Leo, our Pope: May the Lord preserve him, and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth, and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies.

Quote of the day, 15 April: St. Edith Stein On the anniversary of her clothing in Carmel (April 15, 1934), the Church recalls how Saint Edith Stein describes the hidden work of grace: formed in deep prayer, expressed in daily fidelity, and repaid through quiet sacrifices, self-control, and loving service within the ordinary rhythm of community life.

If Trump thinks the pope is too woke and soft on crime wait til he hears about Jesus

And Uk catholics will not stand up for it.

I’m praying for your soul as you seem a very bitter and angry man whose love of money really is the root of all evil. 🙏

WASHINGTON - Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a brief response to a social media post by President Trump on Sunday evening. "I am disheartened that the President chose to write such disparaging words about the Holy Father. Pope Leo is not his rival; nor is the Pope a politician. He is the Vicar of Christ who speaks from the truth of the Gospel and for the care of souls."

‘God does not bless any conflict’: pope issues new rebuke over Iran war Social media post names no names but criticizes attempts to use religion to glorify US war in Middle East

"God does not bless any conflict." #PopeLeoXIV #PrayForPeace www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

"It is not enough to say that we are Christians. We must live the faith, not just with our words but with our actions." #PopeFrancis

Prior to Peace Vigil, aPope takes to St. Peter’s Square where thousands are gathered to invite them to follow along. He said: "We want to tell the whole world that it is possible to build peace, a new peace. It is possible to live together with all the peoples of all religions, of all races.”

Pope Leo: “War divides; hope unites. Arrogance tramples upon others; love lifts up. Idolatry blinds us; the living God enlightens.”

I was so blessed to be able to share online Pope Leo’s prayer vigil for peace, from the Vatican.

I love and so proud to be a Catholic in these times.

“Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God.

Pope Leo to Social Security Executives: “Much wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few people. Many hundreds of millions of people across the planet are immersed in extreme poverty and lack food, shelter, medical care, schools, electricity, drinking water, and indispensable sanitary services.”

Pentagon and U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See Respond to Allegations that #Pope Leo's Ambassador was Threatened
www.catholicnewsworld.com/2026/04/pent...

The Pope’s response to being threatened by the Pentagon?
- Cancelled his July 4th US visit.
- Spending our 250th birthday on an island where African migrants wash ashore.
- Told Catholics to call their reps and demand an end to the Iran war.
The first American pope.
He will NOT be bullied by Trump!

The American regime has alienated us from the Pope.

Let that sink in.
