J.D. Vance

“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

“Vance is right to be worried about the decline of Christianity in America and the rise of “the nones,”…. He is right to worry about the elites who promise us heaven on earth….But can we win culture wars through politics? If we could, should we?” - Acton
