I read that the Chinese government allowed a video of Vance calling their factory workers peasants to go viral.

One person commented: did you say thank you? Mr. Vance.

JD Vance faces icy reception at the Vatican after Pope Francis

JD Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, identifies with a small intellectual movement, viewed by some critics as having reactionary or authoritarian leanings, that is often called 'postliberal.'

JD Vance has been snubbed by Pope Francis during his visit to the Vatican this weekend - amid a remarkable papal rebuke of the Trump administration's crackdown on migrants.

Vance, a Catholic convert, instead met with the Vatican secretary of state, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and the foreign minister, Archbishop Peter Gallagher, on Saturday.

There was speculation Vance might also briefly greet Pope Francis, who has begun resuming some official duties during his recovery from pneumonia - but the pair are yet to see each other.

The Holy See issued a statement after Vance's meeting with the Vatican's number two official, reaffirming good relations but noting 'an exchange of opinions' over international conflicts, migrants and prisoners.

Vance has been spending Easter weekend in Rome with his family and attended Good Friday services in St Peter's Basilica on Friday after meeting with Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni.

Francis and Vance have tangled sharply over migration and the Trump administration's plans to deport migrants en masse.
