Five faith facts about Trump’s VP pick, JD Vance

By Filings on Tue, 07/16/24
Society & Culture
Post-liberal Integralism
J.D. Vance
Christian Nationalism
2024 Election

“Vance is tied to an ideology known as ‘Catholic integralism,’ an intellectual movement that, experts say, prefers a “soft power” approach to exerting Christian influence over society. Thinkers in the movement herald the importance of a Christian “strategic adviser” to people in power.” - RNS

NewVance and his wife…

Tue, 07/16/24

Vance and his wife apparently do not have reservations about their very different religious beliefs, probably because they both reflect the common "many ways to God" philosophy. Aside from the Catholic theology, the "soft power" approach is not much different from what any Christian would try to do who works in government service. An interesting person, one worth watching carefully.
