Juli 2024 \/ 17:35 Uhr (CNA).<\/p>\n<p>Mit 39 Jahren hat der Senator von Ohio, James David \u201eJ.D.\u201c Vance, der neu angek\u00fcndigte Vizepr\u00e4sidentschaftskandidat von Donald Trump f\u00fcr die Wahl 2024, die Chance, der zweite katholische Vizepr\u00e4sident der Vereinigten Staaten zu werden.<\/p>\n<p>Vance ist das zweitj\u00fcngste Mitglied des US-Senats. Er trat sein Amt im Jahr 2023 an.<\/p>\n<p>Er wurde im Alter von 35 Jahren in der katholischen Kirche in St. Gertrude\u2019s, einem Dominikanerpriorat in Cincinnati, getauft und gefirmt.<\/p>\n<p>In einem Artikel aus dem Jahr 2020 in <a href=\"https:\/\/thelampmagazine.com\/blog\/how-i-joined-the-resistance\" target=\"null\" class=\"null\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">The Lamp<\/a> mit dem Titel \u201eOn Mamaw and Becoming Catholic\u201c reflektierte Vance seine Konversion als einen Prozess, der sich \u00fcber mehrere Jahre hinweg \u201elangsam und ungleichm\u00e4\u00dfig\u201c vollzog.<\/p>\n<p>Laut Vance wurde sein allm\u00e4hlicher Weg zum Glauben durch das Beispiel seiner Gro\u00dfmutter \u201eMamaw\u201c inspiriert, die er als \u201eeine Frau von tiefem, aber v\u00f6llig de-institutionalisiertem Glauben\u201c beschreibt.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Nachdem er in einem armen Haushalt in den Appalachen aufgewachsen war, vier Jahre bei den Marines gedient und einen Jura-Abschluss in Yale erworben hatte, sagt Vance, er habe sich selbst als Atheisten betrachtet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Obwohl er den Widrigkeiten seiner bescheidenen Herkunft trotzte und wirtschaftlich sowie sozial aufstieg, sagte Vance, er sei mit seinem Lebenszustand nicht gl\u00fccklich gewesen und habe begonnen, eine Neigung zum Christentum und insbesondere zum Katholizismus zu entwickeln.<\/p>\n<p>\u201eIch begann mich zu fragen: Machten mich all diese weltlichen Erfolgsmerkmale tats\u00e4chlich zu einem besseren Menschen? Ich hatte Tugend gegen Leistung eingetauscht und festgestellt, dass Letzteres unzureichend war\u201c, schrieb er. \u201eEs gab eine Stimme in meinem Kopf, die mehr von mir verlangte.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>\u201eIch sehnte mich verzweifelt nach einer Weltanschauung, die unser schlechtes Verhalten gleichzeitig als sozial und individuell, strukturell und moralisch verstand; die anerkannte, dass wir Produkte unserer Umwelt sind; dass wir die Verantwortung haben, diese Umwelt zu ver\u00e4ndern, wir aber dennoch moralische Wesen mit individuellen Pflichten sind; eine, die sich gegen die steigenden Scheidungs- und Suchtraten aussprechen konnte, nicht mit bereinigten Schlussfolgerungen \u00fcber ihre negativen sozialen Externalit\u00e4ten, sondern mit moralischer Emp\u00f6rung.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>Mehr als jede politische Philosophie, schrieb Vance, erkannte er bald, dass diese Weltanschauung, nach der er gesucht hatte, eine war, die er schon lange kannte: \u201eEs war das Christentum meiner Mamaw.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>\u201eTrotz der Unvertrautheit meiner Mamaw mit der Liturgie, den r\u00f6mischen und italienischen kulturellen Einfl\u00fcssen und dem ausl\u00e4ndischen Papst begann ich langsam, den Katholizismus als den treffendsten Ausdruck ihrer Art von Christentum zu sehen, einen Glauben, der sich um einen Christus dreht, der Perfektion von uns verlangt, w\u00e4hrend er gleichzeitig bedingungslos liebt und leicht vergibt\u201c, schrieb er.<\/p>\n<p>Es war der \u201ekatholische Teil meines Herzens\u201c, der laut Vance von ihm verlangte, \u00fcber die Dinge nachzudenken, die wirklich wichtig sind, seinen Sohn mit Geduld zu behandeln, sein Temperament zu m\u00e4\u00dfigen, seine Familie \u00fcber sein Einkommen und Prestige zu stellen und denen zu vergeben, die ihm Unrecht getan haben.<\/p>\n<p>\u201eWenn ich wollte, dass dieser Teil von mir gen\u00e4hrt wird und w\u00e4chst, musste ich mehr tun, als gelegentlich ein Theologiebuch zu lesen oder \u00fcber meine eigenen Unzul\u00e4nglichkeiten nachzudenken. Ich musste mehr beten, am sakramentalen Leben der Kirche teilnehmen, beichten und \u00f6ffentlich Bu\u00dfe tun, egal wie unangenehm das auch sein mochte\u201c, sagte er.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201eUnd ich brauchte Gnade. Ich musste mit anderen Worten katholisch werden, nicht nur dar\u00fcber nachdenken.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>In einem Interview im November 2022 mit \u201e<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=x8TSxoboMSc&amp;t=123s\" target=\"null\" class=\"null\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">EWTN News Nightly<\/a>\u201c beschrieb Vance die Geschichte und den Reichtum des katholischen Glaubens als die Kr\u00e4fte, die seine Politik leiten, und sagte, dass \u201eeine der gro\u00dfen Erkenntnisse der katholischen Tradition darin besteht, dass man sowohl eine \u00f6ffentliche Politik hat, die das Leben sch\u00fctzt, als auch die W\u00fcrde des amerikanischen Arbeiters respektiert.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>[ad_2]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Source Republican vice presidential candidate Sen.
