JD Vance claims he’s doing God’s work, and if that brings about the End Times he’s okay with it – 21 people who are understandably not okay with it
JD Vance must be the most famous political Catholic convert of all time – largely because he’s wanged on about it so much, including in book form.

The Vice President recently took time out of his busy schedule of criticising the Pope for wanting to help the poor to grant an interview to Christian podcaster Bryce Crawford to discuss his faith.
One comment particularly caught the internet’s attention, and not in a good way.
JD Vance: I'm trying to focus on doing as much of God's work as possible right now. And if that leads to the end times, okay.

We’re not sure how propping up an adulterous felon with a civil judgement for a sex offence is doing God’s work, to be quite honest. We’d heard he moves in mysterious ways, but surely not that mysterious.
People had concerns. Many, many concerns.

The most terrifying thing ever said by an elected official.
This is what happens when people that don't read the Constitution also don't read the Bible. https://t.co/J4wcEUEmHz

I went to Catholic school for a decade,& we never talked about the end times
Vance also seems to dislike the papacy, never talks about the Church’s social mission,& comfortably mixes RW politics w/ religion (no ‘render unto Caesar…’). He sure sounds like an American evangelical https://t.co/nrAlOssGSG

JD Vance, "What I'm trying to focus on is doing as much of God's work right now, and if that leads to the end times, ok"
Surely if it's God's work, it won't lead to the 'end times' as God in pretty much every religion calls for peace between people 🤔 pic.twitter.com/VpcEvDyR1N

It is beyond disturbing for anyone in a position of power to have this kind of deranged religious extremist mindset. https://t.co/AUMlTKf9rZ
