Welcome to "Being Catholic with Bob Johnston" on Catholic Spirit Radio. In this episode, Bob and his wife Lynn discuss the rising influence of J.D. Vance, Donald Trump's vice-presidential pick, and his significant role in shaping a new kind of religious populism. Vance, a convert to Catholicism and author of "Hillbilly Elegy," highlights the emerging class divisions in American society and their impact on politics and religion.

Bob delves into an article from the May 2024 issue of "First Things Magazine" by Matthew Schmitz, examining Vance's perspective on the growing alignment of working-class Americans beyond racial and political lines. They explore how economic instability and elite contempt have driven a shift towards a more inclusive and populist religious conservatism, emphasizing the dignity of work and traditional values.

Join the conversation as Bob and Lynn analyze how this transformation challenges the established political landscape and what it means for the future of Catholicism and American society. Don't miss this insightful discussion on the evolving dynamics of class, religion, and politics.
