In his latest memoir, Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith, Vice President JD Vance explores his political beliefs as the 2028 presidential race emerges. Vance candidly addresses past controversies and his evolving perspectives on faith and leadership.
Vance, who became nationally recognized after his book Hillbilly Elegy, admits learning from past mistakes. Specifically, he refers to his remark about some Democratic women as ‘childless cat ladies’ as a significant misstep. He describes this comment as not only thoughtless but also a distraction from important discussions about American family values.
“The comment caused two firestorms: the first when I made it, the second years later during a political campaign,” Vance acknowledges in the memoir. “It was a boneheaded comment, intentionally (and successfully) provocative rather than illuminating.”
Vance’s journey also includes a brief departure from his Christian beliefs and subsequent conversion to Catholicism. He outlines how faith and ambition have driven his career, particularly following a public disagreement with Pope Leo XIV. Vance’s book emphasizes a vision for America that is deeply rooted in Christian values.
