Ohio Senator JD Vance's conversion to Catholicism in 2019 has significantly influenced both his personal and political outlooks, filling a spiritual void left by his earlier education and career. This faith has reshaped his perspective on social issues, such as addiction and family breakdown, which he discusses in his memoir, 'Hillbilly Elegy.' Vance's alignment with a group of Catholic intellectuals referred to as 'postliberals' reflects a desire for a robust government role in societal regulation, contrasting with traditional Catholic conservatism. Critics have raised concerns about the movement's potential authoritarian tendencies, particularly given Vance's rise as the Republican vice-presidential nominee. His connections to influential figures like Peter Thiel and the populist influence of Donald Trump further complicate his political identity. Vance's narrative resonates with right-wing constituents, but also raises questions about the implications for American democracy and governance.
