Ohio Sen. JD Vance underwent a significant spiritual and political transformation following his 2019 conversion to Catholicism. This conversion provided him with a new perspective on societal issues, blending social and individual responsibility with moral considerations.
Vance aligned himself with a group of Catholic postliberals who advocate for a more muscular government that promotes their vision of the common good. While sharing some traditional Catholic conservative views like opposition to abortion and LGBTQ+ rights, postliberals diverge by advocating for a more interventionist government approach.
