war and genocide, those notoriously uncomplicated amoral matters.
And then there’s that oh so small matter of Trump fucking kids
Friendly reminder that Vance is a Catholic.
And he's had two different popes tell him that he should quit calling himself one.
Additional reminder that he also fucks couches, which is frowned upon by the church.
That's what he's doing.
Taking a stand on a illegal and unnecessary war IS an issue of morality...
"stick to matters of morality".... That's exactly what he's been doing you fat-headed clown! The pope has been talking about the (im)morality of war and the abuse of power. Which is painfully relevant.
I've seen some people talk about how Vance is some intellectual titan who we should fear because he's so smart. But all I've seen over the last few years is him being played like a fiddle by scumbags and other idiots.
I’ve seen some people talk about how Vance is some intellectual titan That's funny as - there are some truly stupid people.
Same people who thought Paul "Rage Against the Washing Machine" Ryan was a political prodigy and strategic genius.
Hoo boy. Is it surprising Vance doesn't recognize a matter of morality when it's staring him in the face?
vance is just mad because it cant use the death touch on the current pope, like the last pope and the iran deal, and orbans campaign.
No room for morality in the theater of war, huh JD?
Man, I would pay good money if - even just for a day - hypocrisy would be painful.
When was the last excommunication? I think we're about due.
In all seriousness, while I am confident that it wouldn't get to that level, if the Pope and Trump actually do get in a pissing match...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interdict
In Catholic canon law, an interdict (/ˈɪntərdɪkt/) is an ecclesiastical censure, or ban that prohibits certain persons or groups from participating in particular rites, or that the rites and services of the church are prohibited in certain territories for a limited or extended time.
France
Pope Innocent III put the whole Kingdom of France under interdict on 13 January 1200 to force Philip II of France to take his wife Ingeborg of Denmark back. After a reconciliation ceremony, the interdict was lifted on 12 September 1200.
England
Pope Innocent III also placed the kingdom of England under an interdict for six years between March 1208 and July 1214, after King John refused to accept the pope's appointee Stephen Langton as Archbishop of Canterbury.[15]
Like, it isn't the Middle Ages any more, but the Pope could probably put a considerable amount of political pressure in if he really wanted to.
current papacy is pretty nuch built around ignoring even the most obvious of schisms, see german catholic church openly allowing bishops to marry/be gay/woman.
In an ideal world the Pope would have as much influence as the leader of Hogwarts.
God, what a useless idiot.
Who wants to tell him?
These are matters of morality. Don't run such a deeply immoral government if you can't handle criticism.
JD Vance has to defend Thiel's alt-catholocism. They're in a "rad trad" cult.
"Alt-Catholic".
You mean a Protestant? We already have a word for that. ML ~~K~~ took care of that for everyone.

I think you might be confusing Martin Luther, a priest who lived in what is now Germany in the 15th century and started the Protestant Reformation, with Martin Luther King, Jr., a Baptist minister who played an influential role in the American civil rights movement in the 20th century.
Martin Luther not Martin Luther King. One was a German the other an African American named after the former. Also they lived centuries apart.
