She was likely against the somewhat liberal views of Pope Francis, like how Christians should be kind to gay people and refugees.

Even the pope is just a church organ. I meant, his "policy" if you will was more than just his own. It's doubtful that Vance's visit (I will run with the idea*) will bring forth a more conservative pope.

* "Rep. Nancy Mace (...) bizarrely insisted that a visit by U.S. Vice President JD Vance did not lead to the pope's death."

It's highly likely the next pope will be conservative. There are different factions within the Vatican (and the church as a whole) and they get turns putting their guy in the big chair.

Francis said that judgement should be suspended on gay individuals and theorized a gay cabal in the same sentence. That's different than being kind to them.
