Vice President JD Vance, the highest-ranking Catholic in the federal government, said in an interview on Fox News on Monday that the pope should stay out of American affairs, the New York Times reports.
Said Vance: “Stick to matters of, you know, what’s going on in the Catholic Church. And let the president of the United States stick to dictating American public policy.”
He added: “When they are in conflict, they are in conflict. I don’t worry about it too much.”
