Vance is so Catholic that he used a Protestant church on the cover of his book about converting to #catholicism.

Catholics in the US don't normally build churches like this. Romanesque, Gothic, and modern are the most common styles in the northeast US, with dots of Polish, & Spanish styles prevailing in the southwest.

But this is a political ad, not a genuine faith memoir. It's aimed at Vance's heavily Protestant middle American audience, who do build churches like this.

@fesshole My family of origin fed me meat and other animal products before I was even aware of myself. They didn't let me choose for myself whether I wanted to consume animal products or not when old enough to understand what that meant.

They also smoked in front of me (my mother during pregnancy as well), gave me alcoholic drinks since I remember instead of letting me choose whether to drink them or not when old enough to understand the consequences, and they forced me to undergo Catholic rituals threatening me with physical and economic violence.
