New Pope Leo XIV slammed JD Vance and now the internet can't stop mocking him

JD Vance has been made fun of in a myriad of hilarious ways, from people accusing him of having coitus with a sectional to people pointing out that he was acting like a weird robot during the presidential campaign, to him being blamed for Pope Francis' death. But now the vice president is being dunked on because the new pope was chosen, and it seems like he might hate Vance as much as Democrats do.
Pope Leo XIV, perviously known as American Cardinal Robert Prevost, has been an outspoken critic of the way Vance tried to use Catholic teachers to justify the Trump administration's draconian immigration policy, writing on social media, 'JD Vance is wrong: Jesus doesn't ask us to rank our love for others,' USA Today reports.
Pope Leo XIV also posted his approval of a public letter Pope Francis wrote, giving Vance, who only converted to Catholicism in 2019, a lesson on theology. This means that two popes in a row have thought that Vance needs to do better as a Catholic.
This has predictably led to the internet tearing Vance to shreds. 'This new Pope had me at 'JD Vance is wrong,'' one person wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Another person joked, 'jd vance killed pope francis only for the new pope to hate him even more,' while someone else posted, 'good news everyone, the new pope still hates jd vance.'
