President Trump's VP pick converted to Catholicism and to a extreme view of control over society, known as "Catholic integralism". Here is a article on "Catholic Integralism".
"Since his nomination as the Republican candidate for vice president, focus has intensified on J.D. Vance's religious beliefs and how they connect to his politics.

Vance is a convert to Catholicism and seems to have the same policy positions that many American Catholic conservatives hold: opposition to abortion, support for the traditional family, skepticism regarding liberal immigration policies and efforts to combat climate change, and advocacy of economic tariffs.

Some news reports have also referenced Vance's apparent association with Catholic Integralism, although Vance himself has not addressed the issue publicly.

So, now might be a good time to ask: What is Catholic Integralism?

What is Catholic Integralism?
The basic position of Catholic Integralism is that there are two areas of human life: the spiritual and the temporal, or worldly. Catholic Integralists argue that the spiritual and temporal should be integrated – with the spiritual being the dominant partner. This means that religious values, specifically Christian ones, should guide government policies.

Catholic Integralists disagree about how to achieve this integration between the spiritual and temporal. Some argue that Christians, particularly Catholics, should have advisory roles in government and lead by example. Other Catholic Integralists want a more comprehensive approach to organizing society along Christian principles.

Catholic Integralists share an opposition to liberalism. Generally, liberalism is understood as a political philosophy that supports limits on the government's authority and constitutional protections for the rights of individuals and minorities. But Catholic Integralists argue that liberalism is incapable of establishing deep forms of human community because it values individualism and liberty above all things.

The irony, from the Catholic Integralist perspective, is that liberalism is not really that liberal. Instead, liberalism demands – and enforces – adherence to a certain set of values, like tolerance and pluralism, that prevents creating a social order in which human beings can realize a larger, God-given meaning for their lives."..https://rhodeislandcurrent.com/2024/07/22/gop-vp-nominee-j-d-vance-is-linked-to-catholic-integralism-what-is-it/

Frankie must be over the moon with joy.

I knew there was a problem because just like Nikki Haley... when the subject came up about his religion  (And hers too) the infamous dumb statement "It is complicated" preceded an explanation.

Well, if he pulls some Catholic votes... good.

Just got to get Trump into office and worry about 28 later.

In the meantime... he sure is nice to look at....

We shall see as it will show itself eventually and this has all the bases covered...

It appears that you are not in agreement with that. What, specifically, do you find objectionable with it.  After all, this nation was founded upon Judeo-Christian values.

This seems to be the reason he was selected.

As the media goes through his closet looking for skeletons, they're finding all kinds of weird quotes.  Did you see his interview on Tucker?  Carlson's face was all scrunched up... I swear I could hear him thinking, "you shouldn't say that out loud."
