Vice President JD Vance assured Catholics during his national prayer breakfast on Friday that President Donald Trump's administration had already erased the anti-Christian policies of his previous administration.
President Joe Biden's administration has indicted life-supporting Christians and targeted traditional Catholics under suspicion that they were extremists and had “white supremacist ideology.” During breakfast, Vance said Trump, although he is not a Catholic himself, took multiple actions to protect Catholic and Christian Americans from being targeted by federal officials.
“I am extremely confident in protecting the rights of prolife protesters, ensuring that there is an opportunity to protect the rights of the fetus in the first place, and most importantly, protecting the religious freedom of all people, especially among Catholics,” Vance said. “I think President Trump is not Catholic himself, but he is an incredibly good president for Catholics in the United States.” (Related: Vance tells the bishop who frankly told Trump's border policy to “look in the mirror” before being critical.)

The vice president criticized the Biden administration for indicting life supporters who prayed and protested outside the abortion clinic. Under the Biden administration, at least 15 FBI agents stormed the home of Catholic life supporter Mark Hooke in October 2022, arresting him for allegedly violating clinical entrance (face) behavior over an argument between himself and planned parent-child abortion clinic escort Bruce Love.
Houck, who faced up to 11 years in prison and pleaded not guilty to the charges, said he defended his 12-year-old son from verbal harassment, and stoked his love in the process. According to To the Catholic News Agency. Ju judges found Houck not guilty of all charges in January 2023.
In another case, the FBI retracted a leaked memo from the Richmond Field Office in 2023. This examined an infiltrating group of Roman Catholics who prefer Latin Mass, which are thought to be possible to commit “violence.” The document accused traditional Catholics attending Latin Mass before 1970 as susceptible to “anti-Semitism, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ and white supremacist ideology.”
Vance further said the Trump administration is taking steps to prevent late abortions. Despite Biden identifying himself as “respectful Catholic,” both himself and his administration's officials repeatedly I refused Saying that abortion should not be permitted at any time during pregnancy.
“In all of these issues, over 30 days, Donald J. Trump has been moving in the opposite direction, and I am grateful for that. I am sure everyone in this room is grateful for that too,” Vance said.
The vice president further said Trump's efforts to bring world peace by ending the war would give Christians more religious freedom on a global scale. The president said he is currently involved in negotiations between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Voldy Zelensky.
Biden was scrutinized by Catholic priests and clergy for abortion support and could face excommunication at the church to attend the historically black Masonic Lodge a day before leaving the presidency. Father Robert E. Molly denied communion with Biden at St. Anthony Catholic Church in South Carolina in 2019 regarding his abortion stance.
The former president was Roev, who was overturned by the Supreme Court in June 2022 to return the abortion law to the state. They supported the filibuster change to codify Wade.
