To the editor: Having learn the article on Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance’s authoritarian leanings and his 2019 conversion to Catholicism, I’m unconvinced that he’s actually a Christian. He makes this extra apparent along with his offended, divisive rhetoric.
The Christians of assorted denominations I do know are variety to strangers, don’t lie with callous abandon and don’t befriend unrepentant convicts. They aren’t racists, xenophobes or misogynists, and they aren’t hurtful, antagonistic and merciless.
They’re, in truth, the precise antithesis of how Vance presents himself. Come to consider it, there may be one label that describes Vance: Christofascist.
One can be hard-pressed to search out two extra ungodly candidates than these on the high of the Republican ticket. Sadly, the “grace” Vance sought by changing into a Catholic clearly has utterly evaded him.
If he needed to behave extra like a person of religion, Vance ought to take a web page from President Biden’s ebook. He’s a Catholic who exemplifies kindness, sacrifice, inclusion and altruism — all traits important in true public servants, no matter spiritual affiliation.

God have to be up there shaking his head, considering: “Idiots! Right here I gave you accountability for the well-being of Earth and the free will to make sure it, however you’ve squandered alternatives at each flip.”
