JD Vance isn’t even trying to align his politics with the Catholicism he chose

There is an old John Mawlani The routine in which he imagines what he might say to persuade someone to turn into Catholicism. Firstly, “No Google for us,” Suggest in SNL monologue from 2019Before you add, “You know that a strange appearance of shame and misery in my eyes at all times, especially after sex, and everything was forced at birth? Six years later, we are here with the exact vice president who did so. It seems that a man besieged with his faith, was able to seize A few embarrassing minutes with Pope Francis Before the poor man can mix the human file. As someone who has an educational background in negotiation, I am fascinated by mental gymnastics indefinitely JD Vance He must put himself every day to reconcile his political actions with the religion he chose to participate with.

Anyone who was a Catholic practitioner had to negotiate through conflicting necessities often from his personal morals and the special flavor of the Catholicism practiced in the diocese of their house, and the strict room that does not vibrate does not allow the principles of confusion. It is a high enough wire to get a degrading “Cafeteria Catholic”, a person who selectively decides the parts of faith that must be accepted and what he rejects. But as Catholic cafeteria previousI know this is not really how it works. There is a slight difference and an explanation about many things, but there are some infallible things that you have just got He thinks. You can get your own ideas about where unconventional children go when they die or continue Discussions on unions of the same sexBut either you know in your heart that the host and wine are the literal body and the blood of Christ, or you can GTFO. The metaphors are for Protestants.

It is in this space of theological holiness, where the clear lack of spiritual conflict is highlighted. Like other Catholic officials before him, Vans had to think about the potential conflicts of his duty towards his office and his faith obligations.

The militants are the Catholic Church that was colored to John F. Kennedy for the 1960s of the White House with dangerous concerns “It cannot remain independent of controlling the church.” After a generation, New York Governor Mario Como found himself in a similar hot water on Catholicism, but from a different direction, when it is End the threat of expulsion To support abortion rights.

The strongest form of negotiating the conflict in our lives is the type that we have to use on ourselves. And while there is The entire branches of philosophy The negotiation, which is devoted to languages, is devoted from improved moral principles and professional duties, some of the most creative methods. The complementary process, for example, is logical for individual conflict because its entire goal is a total solution that recognizes the value of the settlement. It is not about winning one side, which is very important if you wander in one body with different entities that you answer, such as God and your components.

Actors like Nicola Saglan and Melissa Barira He took some professional visits when they made the moral decision to speak to support Palestine, but they continued to work in making some of the time on their personal views. In them A continuous and chaotic break from the royal familyPrince Harry and Meghan Markle opposed the Foundation’s concepts about what “Public Service” It necessitates and reconsidates how their service ideas are reformulated in a different context. Good negotiations should leave you, whether with your colleagues or yourself, able to keep your head high.

The difference, then, between Joe Biden, who is defending reproductive choice and JD Vance, say that Drug dealers must be implemented It is moral dissonance. Biden, from He put himself as a pro -option for reproductiveAnd continuously maintain that he is still “not great in miscarriage”, just as he made His positions against the death penalty clear.

Vans, on the other hand, confirms, “I am a supporter of life. I care about the rights that have not yet been born. This flows a lot from my Christian view, “while ignoring that the Christian education of the religion he chose for itself carries this The death penalty is “unacceptable”. Perhaps because those special prisons Real money maker.

In the 2020 article on its conversion, it is called ridiculously “How did you join the resistance?” Vans Catholicism embraced as “protection for children, families and things necessary to ensure their prosperity.” So it is exciting for the mind that the same man who ignores Shooting schools as a “reality in life” And justify Remove relief organizations Through meditation, “How America has reached the point where we send hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars abroad Non -governmental organizations designated to spread atheism around the world? “ The man who wrote, “If people die sooner in the midst of the historical levels of consumption, then our focus on consumption is misleading,” he asks now, God forbid, if your country goes to war and your son or daughter is sent to fight – do you want to know that the weapons that They have good, American -made things? “

Catholics can range from Nancy Pelosi to Marco Rubio Diversity, from Amy Kony Barrett to Sonia Sotomoor. But Vans is unique because he chose this. He had to have a full official process of religious education and to provide a set of promises that most Catholics made to them when they were children. It knows the rules better than most of the baptized Catholics. He could have been stuck with a mysterious and continuous Christian for the Bible works well Maga Church. Instead, he launched his entire political career after joining a religion that does not like it when people pushing her doctrines. (Just ask Henry VI Hip by The Pope in a row.

Mario Como understood the distinction between what the Church is required by the Church as a sin and a duty to support the law. As he explained in a letter about “Religious belief and public morals” In 1984, Catholicism “was elected to serve Jews, Muslims, atheists and Protestants, as well as Catholics – a special responsibility … to help create conditions everyone can live with the maximum amount of dignity and a reasonable degree of freedom.” He was using integrated thinking to negotiate there, while realizing the common humanitarian ideals of Christianity and democracy to fill the points of internal conflict. He was expressing a compromise, admitting that the civil employee could not mix his personal values ​​and behaviors with public policy.

On the other hand, JD Vance wants to take the company on Sunday and separate families on Monday, because there is no sincere confession in the teachings of Christ. He may have gone to the Christian education category, but he did not do his duty. Catholicism and his political ambition did not bring to the table to take their differences in a meaningful way. Rationalization is not negotiations, and I can promise you that you cannot enter into the Catholic Paradise that respects its basic rules.
