Vance Pushes Back on Papal Iran Critique, Urges Theological Caution

Vice President JD Vance pushed back on Pope Leo XIV’s critique of the Iran conflict, saying the pope’s remarks aren’t anchored in theological truth and that he should be careful when weighing in on theology; Vance said he admires the pope but questions his stance on the Middle East, noting the need for words to be anchored in truth, a point he raised at a Turning Point USA event in Georgia amid Trump’s criticisms of the pope.
