In reply to the discussion: Vance warns the pope should 'be careful' when talking about theology [View all]Ocelot II
(130,789 posts)34. Recent converts tend to be more devout (fanatical, if you like) than long-time members
of any religion or denomination. And Vance, being an arrogant, condescending know-it-all with respect to pretty much everything, figures that his wonderful, miraculous conversion entitles him to tell the head of an enormous 2,000-year-old religious organization that he's doing it wrong. By the way, Pope Leo has a Master of Divinity from Catholic Theological Union and a doctorate in canon law from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas, and he taught canon law at a seminary for years, so Vice President Abuser of Upholstered Furniture should be deeply embarrassed for making that remark, but you know he isn't.
