"Vice President JD Vance, a Catholic convert, has expressed respect for the pontiff’s leadership. Speaking at the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast on February 28, 2025, Vance acknowledged Pope Francis’ recent critique of the Trump administration’s immigration policies but instead emphasized his respect for the Pope’s dedication to the global Catholic community, leading a prayer for Francis’ health during the event. Vance described the Pope as a true shepherd who cares about the flock of Christians under his leadership. This stance highlights Vance’s recognition of Pope Francis as the legitimate head of the Catholic Church, despite the ultra-conservatives within the Church who question the Pope’s legitimacy. Vance also warned conservative Catholics not to be so preoccupied with every word uttered from the Papacy."
