Watch: Vance heckled as he chides Pope
JD Vance Challenges Pope on Theological Remarks
During a Turning Point USA gathering in Georgia, US Vice-President JD Vance faced a spectator’s interruption as he criticized Pope Leo for his comments on the war in Iran. The crowd member shouted, “Be careful when he talks about matters of theology,” drawing attention to the vice-president’s sharp response. Pope Leo, the first American to hold the title, has consistently condemned the conflict in Iran, describing it as resulting in “absurd and inhuman violence.”
“Pope Leo said on Monday that he has ‘no fear’ of the Trump administration or ‘speaking out loudly of the message of the Gospel, which is what I believe I am here to do.’”
