You do not even need to be catholic to see how offensive the actions and words coming from public figures like JD Vance, who claim to be part of the faith. His unwavering support for the divisive and derogatory rhetoric of Donald Trump towards Pope Leo and the broader Catholic community goes against everything Vance claims to value im his 'faith'.

In recent months, Vice President JD Vance has aligned himself with narratives that not only tarnish the sanctity of religious tolerance but also undermine charitable initiatives the church holds dear. It's not just rhetoric; it's financial backing. He has supported policies that significantly cut funding for church-backed charities, disregarding invaluable community programs that provide crucial support to underprivileged populations, including children.

Considerable statistics show that communities relying on these services have seen a decline in assistance, and the number of families affected is on the rise. This is not simply a theoretical issue; it's a tangible crisis affecting real lives. To witness a politician, especially one claiming to be Catholic, champion such harmful agendas is deeply disheartening. It's not just contradictory; it's hypocritical.

The teachings of the Catholic Church are grounded in love and service to all humanity. By continuing to support actions that propagate hatred and injustice, JD Vance not only contradicts these teachings, but also erodes the credibility and moral authority of the church itself. This behavior cannot be overlooked or excused.

We respectfully urge Pope Leo to take a stand and excommunicate JD Vance. It's a decisive move necessary to demonstrate that the Church will not align itself with ideologies that promote discord and division. Such a decision would reaffirm the Church's commitment to its core principles and set a clear example that hate and divisiveness have no place within its community.

By excommunicating JD Vance, the Church can send a powerful message - one that upholds a vision of unity, compassion, and respect. Let's stand together to protect the integrity of our faith and the invaluable work of the Church.

Please sign this petition to urge Pope Leo to take action and protect the values of the Catholic faith.
