Pope Francis recently commented that the American election came down to the lesser of two evils, since Harris supported abortion and Trump advocated cruelty towards immigrants. It is unlikely that either Harris or Trump cared very much, but J.D., a fervent Catholic who wants to remake America on the lines established by medieval theologians, certainly should.
Vance, Douthat, and other prominent New Right figures who rail about excessive immigration clearly take their Catholicism a la carte. It was about time for someone to call them on it.
