    So people want him to (1) believe that the Catholic faith is essential for eternal salvation but also (2) not care whether or not his wife is Catholic? That wouldn’t make any sense. Of course any Catholic who cares about his loved ones is going to hope that they convert to Catholicism.

      No one thinks he believes #1. Like most Republicans, he’s very obviously not a true believer or he’d be acting differently regarding doing good for people, not just waving the Bible around when he does evil. Two actual Popes have said what he’s involved in is wrong.

        Hence “join Christianity” instead of “convert.” It’s about being in the right club to these people.

        Au contraire

        These people believe

        They have faith

        Which means their critical thinking skills are underdeveloped and they will believe any fucking thing their in-group believes

          Their religion is white supremacy. Vance only figured that out after he got married, though.

        He married her and he wants her to convert, but there’s no reason to think that he married her for the purpose of converting her.
