Vice President J.D. Vance, referring to himself as a “baby Catholic” who converted to the faith as an adult, said in remarks at the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast on Friday that he recognizes that not everyone would agree with the moves being made by the Trump administration, but insisted that the rights of the faithful are being protected.

“I feel very confident in saying that between protecting the rights of pro-life protesters, between ensuring that we have an opportunity to protect the rights of the unborn [in] the first place and, importantly, protecting the religious liberty of all people, but in particular Catholics, I think that we can say that President [Donald] Trump, though not a Catholic himself, has been an incredibly good president for Catholics in the United States of America,” Vance said. 

Vance’s remarks aired live on Newsmax and Newsmax 2.
