JD Vance Unloads on Vatican Officials in New Book

Catholic convert JD Vance is airing fresh grievances against the Vatican and reflecting on meeting Pope Francis the day before the pontiff’s 2025 death in his new book.

The vice president met with top Vatican diplomats, including Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican’s secretary of state, while making a stop in Italy on his way to India in April of last year.

Vance, 41, complains in his new memoir that the meeting was “unsettling,” taking aim at Vatican officials for being overly diplomatic and unwilling to have a frank discussion on the issues dividing the Trump administration and the Holy See, according to The Washington Post, which obtained a copy of the book, Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith.
