Humanitarian Masquerade: Vance’s Border Defense Versus Catholic Truth
Catholic News Agency reports (November 20, 2025) U.S. Vice President JD Vance justified mass deportation policies as “humanitarian” while claiming fidelity to Catholic teaching. Responding to the antipope Leo XIV’s call to heed USCCB statements opposing “indiscriminate mass deportation,” Vance asserted: “Border security is not just good for American citizens… It is the humanitarian thing to do for the entire world.” The vice president, self-identifying as “a devout Catholic,” selectively quoted the conciliar sect’s catechism on border regulation while ignoring its calls for migrant protections.
