By Matthew McDonald, EWTN News - Where did (Republican vice-presidential nominee J.D. Vance) come from in faith?... And how did he get where he is now?... Vance, who comes from a long line of culturally Protestant Scots-Irish Americans from Appalachia, was baptized a Roman Catholic in August 2019... Below are 13 items about his meandering journey to Rome and the aftermath, drawn largely from his 3-million-copy-selling 2016 memoir Hillbilly Elegy; and a 6,777-word essay he wrote about his conversion for the Easter 2020 issue of The Lamp, a Catholic magazine.
