JD Vance was delivered a “lecture on compassion” by Pietro Paroline, Pope Francis‘ second-in-command this weekend, while many expected to meet with Francis himself.

Vance, who converted to Catholicism with the support of his wife Usha, had a meeting with the Vatican’s second-in-command on Saturday. This followed a significant papal criticism of the Trump administration’s harsh stance on migrants and Vance’s theological defense of it, invoking the ancient Catholic concept of ‘Ordo Amoris’.

While not specifically mentioning Vance by name in the letter, the Pope refuted the Vice President’s interpretation of ordo armoris, reports New Republic.

The Pope wrote: “Christians know very well that it is only by affirming the infinite dignity of all that our own identity as persons and as communities reaches its maturity.

Memo to J.D. Dunce: Don’t try to be a theologian. You’re not very good at it.
