US Vice President JD Vance is set to release a new book, titled “Communion: Finding My Way Back To Faith” in June.

The 304-page book, published by HarperCollins, chronicles his personal spiritual journey from Christianity to atheism and his eventual conversion to Catholicism in 2019.

This marks Vance's second book following his popular 2016 memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy”, which was adapted on the big screen in a critically mauled 2020 film directed by Ron Howard, starring Glenn Close and Amy Adams.

Buying or reading Vance's new book is the last thing I would do.

1. I suspect that the only conversion Vance has had is to lying and clutching power.

He likes the rich life provided by Peter Thiel and has convinced himself that he is presidential material. He is mostly an unprincipled opportunist. How does he rationalize his many lies with Catholic doctrine and the Bible’s many verses calling lying an abomination in the eyes of the Lord?

2. I don't see much Jesus in J.D. the politician?

Communion almost has the word unite right in it. How do you unite us J.D.?

You are as usual the opposite of your book title.

[JBTaurus83]

3. The Catholic Church will have a field day with this

He doesn’t follow a single tenet of his own chosen faith.

[ChicagoTeamster]

9. What is his chosen faith? At one point he converted to Hinduism. Not that there's anything wrong with that specifically

But, was it for a sincere reason if he comes hopping back to Catholicism to please Christian conservatives (probably won't because Evangelicals don't like Catholics) even though his politics are at odds with the teachings of Christ and his affair with Erika Kirk isn't biblical either. If he divorces Usha for Erika the Catholic church won't honor his new marriage, but Evangelicals will so will he switch again?

He has no core values that don't benefit his political and financial situation at the present moment.

7. I think the title should be

Corruption.

[Vinca]

8. Re his comment to Dana Bash, he has no idea he's CAUSING the suffering. By playing loyal pet without a peep,

he's abetting all our economic woes and all our lack of needed services that have been taken away. He's putting his stamp of approval on endless war and the construction of ballrooms. He no more deserves to be POTUS than Kid Rock.

[ChicagoTeamster]

10. Can heretics receive the sacrament of communion in the Catholic church?

[BlueKota]

23. They're not supposed to.

Heck they didn't let my parents receive communion because my Dad and his first wife divorced long before he married my Mom. He was willing to have the first one annulled so he and my Mom could be married in the Church and they could both still receive Communion, until he found out they expected him to pay a large sum of money so a priest could go to Rome and get permission from the Vatican. Luckily one of the more progressive Priests many years later said he would give my Dad last rights right before he died, and he told my Mom he would allow her to receive communion. I understand both Popes Francis and Leo were and are against excommunication because of divorce.

J.D. on the other hand supports the war, and the brutality against the immigrants, and Pope Leo has made it very clear he stands against both those stances. I think he is my favorite Pope so far in my lifetime!

Unfortunately, some American Priests are giving their loyalty to tsf and his minions rather than the Pope, and more importantly Jesus and God. Likely why J.D. won't face consequences.

25. I was quoted $750

Back in 93 or 94. Hou-Gal Diocese. Sister said hers didn't cost anything in Phoenix in 2019. I chose not to pursue it

[BlueKota]

27. Must have depended on the Priests in charge

of the different dioceses. My father died in 1991 and Father Donnelly, our pastor then, was an example for me of what I wished more Priests were like. My parents marriage was in the late 50s. He always said the pastor back then just wanted a free trip to Rome.

I don't blame you for not pursuing it. I will never forget Father Donnelly saying from the Pulpit at my Dad's funeral mass, "People are petty, God isn't."

11. Guess when you take another vacation every two weeks you have time

to write a book. That POS will be in the $5.00 bin quickly.

12. Flashback to Whitley Streiber's book of the same name.

Streiber's Communion was about his family's experiences with aliens, and actually pretty fascinating. There was an illustration of a "grey" (big bug-eyed alien) on the cover. One of the funniest things I (as a one-time Catholic schoolgirl) was a parody illustration of the cover, where the alien was wearing a holy communion veil.

I put more stuck in aliens than J.D. Vance having any belief system other than feathering his own nest.

[hlthe2b]

13. When you feature a United Methodist Church on cover AND have the POPE calling you out for your

"bastardization" (sorry, but that is the truthful descriptor) of Jesus' message with respect to the poor, the immigrant, war, and every other absolute of true Christianity--not to mention Catholicism, I'd bet your book is going to backfire on you, Vance. And it should.

[BlueKota]

15. It seems like Pope Leo doesn't think JD

is a faithful practitioner of Catholicism. I haven't gone to Mass in a longtime myself, but being raised Catholic, I agree with the Pope on this opinion. J.D.'s take on the subject in this book is likely to be inaccurate and hypocritical. Hard pass for me.

[LtTx]

26. I wish the Pope would ex communicate him. NT

[BlueKota]

37. Me too

[Martin68]

16. I don't think Vance has a snowball's chance in hell when it comes to becoming president.

[Mysterian]

19. George W Bush - a drooling idiot

Donald Trump - an obvious con man.

The USA will have whatever president the propaganda masters desire.

[Polybius]

30. I'd say he has a better chance than any VP since Bush Sr.

Trump is old and in bad health. Vance would take over immediately.

[LiberalLovinLug]

18. Do not leave him alone with children, or women, or furniture.

20. Communion with Couch

Couch Cummunion?

[DBoon]

21. I will expect to see shelves of this book at local thrift shops

right next to "Dianetics", written by a different religious fraud

[Red Mountain]

22. Wondered where he went

not far enough, of course. One can hope.

24. Anagram for onmium coin (aha! his new crypto currency) You saw it here first.

Maybe he could write about his Dad.



That would make some movie.

28. "Just Dance" Vance

[oasis]

29. Now there's a person full of more shit than Trump.

And he’s just a his starting point.

[mdbl]

31. He's a big asshole that's proven himself unworthy of any position in government

of course, the dumbass magats won't think so.

[Diraven]

32. Wasn't this book about aliens?

And anal probes?

[Buddyzbuddy]

33. The only book husky boy there should be thinking about

is the one that's going to be thrown at this whole damn Administration.

[area51]

34. I'd forgotten about the '24 quote.

Since he admitted it, the press should always refer to him as "admitted liar JD Vance".

[AverageOldGuy]

35. "It will be available in June, but you can pre-order today . . . "

Sure thing, JD. I'll get right on it.

[bmichaelh]

36. Vance does not follow the Pope

The Pope recent gave two speeches that are diametrically opposed to Vance.

Pope says universal healthcare is a moral imperative.

https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/pope-leo-calls-universal-healthcare-moral-imperative-2026-03-18/

God does not hear prayers of warmongers.

https://www.reuters.com/world/pope-leo-says-god-rejects-prayers-leaders-who-wage-wars-2026-03-29/

I do not expect Vance will ever be excommunicated.

[Diraven]

38. You know the best thing about this

If he starts to get any recognition at all for a 2028 campaign, Trump will not tolerate it at all because he has to be the center of attention at all times. And he has to keep his Trump 2028 grift going. The feud will be epic.

[calimary]

39. In a word: YES!

In two words: HELL YEAH!!!

In another two words: YES, DAMMIT!!!

I’m voting for a president in 2028. NOT some wanna-be high priest!!!

[bmichaelh]

40. Typical RW Presidential Tactic

This is a typical right-wing tactic.

Flouting one's religious faith before one runs for president.

Except Trump.

In the words of Bob Dylan's song Positively 4th Street:

"You had no faith to lose and you know it"

It's a little like that scene from Richard III when he is feigning religious devotion and is accompanied by two clerics.
Richard III's goal in the scene is to steal the crown from his nephew.

Press rarely challenges a candidate's avowed religious faith.
For example, why does Vance, a Catholic, not support universal healthcare like the Pope does?

41. found his way back to faith

pimping for a multi-felon sex offender

alrighty then
