JD Vance Writes of Journey to Catholicism in 'Communion,' His First Book Since 'Hillbilly Elegy'
The memoir, released in June, chronicles Vance's 2019 conversion to Catholicism alongside reported efforts to minimize Trump's connection to Jeffrey Epstein.
- Vice President JD Vance released his Catholic conversion memoir 'Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith' on Tuesday through HarperCollins, ten years after 'Hillbilly Elegy' launched his political career.
- During military service, Vance abandoned Protestant Christianity for atheism and philosopher Ayn Rand's philosophy until Silicon Valley investor Peter Thiel's open Christian faith challenged his assumption that intelligent people rejected religion.
- In the memoir, Vance writes that his lost faith 'failed to properly take root' and credits witnessing a religious-secular fissure in the Republican Party as leading to his vice presidency, while emphasizing his relative youth on Capitol Hill.
- The memoir's release was overshadowed by a New York Times investigation revealing Vance sought to minimize Trump's relationship with deceased sex predator Jeffrey Epstein, who died awaiting trial for sex trafficking over 1,000 women and underage girls.
- Vance appears on 'The View' Tuesday amid Trump administration tensions with Disney over FCC equal-time exemptions, while deferring 2028 presidential ambitions until after midterm elections despite polling tied with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
