I know the fun answers (and choose to believe them a little), but what was the real (cover) story?

Vance claims to be Catholic, probably fishing for approval from the Pope to justify some warped ideals he spouts to the American people. Typical diplomatic shite.

In the US there's a strain of Catholicism that is far-right and hyperpolitical, they hate the Pope and love Trump. Vance is a fairly recent convert who got into it thanks to Thiel.

Isn’t Thiel gay?

What’s with these weirdos?

I don’t see the appeal of this Opus Dei shit, at all.
