"Vice President JD Vance told a Turning Point USA audience at the University of Georgia: 'I think it's very, very important for the Pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology.'Vance was responding to Pope Leo XIV's April 10 social media post that disciples of Christ are, 'Never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs.'Vance argued: 'Was God on the side of the Americans who liberated France from the Nazis? Was God on the side of the Americans who liberated Holocaust camps?'The vice president, a Catholic convert who has chosen St. Augustine as his patron saint, emphasized that just war theory has existed for over 1,000 years. Do you support Vice President Vance's response to the Pope?"
