Burch, who is the head of the pro-Trump association CatholicVote, was in Rome for the installation of Pope Leo XIV without an official ambassador due to the Democrats blocking his vote. Schmitt expressed disappointment that partisanship had led to this delay, notably considering the historic moment of the first American pope&#8217;s installation. He argued that TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) has affected the confirmation process, even though some Democrats raised concerns about Burch&#8217;s past criticisms of the late Pope Francis and funding cuts that may contradict Catholic teachings. Despite differing perspectives on the reasons for the blockage, Schmitt points to a general dysfunction in the Democratic party&#8217;s approach to nominations under the current governance.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The latest victim of Trump Derangement Syndrome?

Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, for instance, cited a statement from a liberal Catholic humanitarian organization which said that shuttering the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, &ldquo;will kill millions of people and condemn hundreds of millions more to lives of dehumanizing poverty,&rdquo; according to <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-vatican-ambassador-nominee-burch-catholic-vote-9ea01f585a3c86ae269748a5131488b0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Shaheen then asked how, with USAID shuttered (and no longer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-karoline-leavitt-pulls-insane-list-usaid-expenditures-reporter-frets-humanitarian-aid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">producing those transgender Peruvian comic books saving so many lives<\/a>, I can only assume), he would &ldquo;reassure the Holy See that the United States really is committed to saving the lives of those in need.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Burch&rsquo;s response &mdash; really beside the point, but it shows you how concerned about Catholicism Democrats suddenly get when opportunity knocks &mdash; was that Catholic NGOs have &ldquo;some of the best, some of the lowest cost of overhead and some of the most effective and most impactful programs.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>However, it is worth noting that Burch and CatholicVote were involved in a minor to-do with the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >papal selection process<\/a> which hadn&rsquo;t gone over well in the Italian media sphere.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncronline.org\/vatican\/brian-burch-s-catholicvote-spat-italian-media-over-parolin-smear\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Catholic Register<\/a>, CatholicVote posted that Italian media was reporting Cardinal Pietro Parolin &mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/pope-francis-cause-death-revealed-not-pneumonia-respiratory-failure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pope Francis&rsquo;<\/a> secretary of state and one of the frontrunners at the conclave &mdash; had collapsed due to a spike in his blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The famously scrappy Italian newspapers pushed back, saying the item first appeared on CatholicVote. All the related websites involved in the spat have been updated, making it difficult to determine who is to blame,&rdquo; the Catholic Register reported, noting that &ldquo;the controversy comes at a particularly bad time for CatholicVote co-founder Brian Burch, whose nomination to be ambassador to the Holy See is pending in the U.S. Senate.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s impossible to judge at this juncture, but Parolin&rsquo;s record indicates he would have been a more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-conservatives-need-to-make-economics-a-moral-issue\/\" title=\"Why Conservatives Need To Make Economics A Moral Issue\">liberal pope<\/a> on some social issues (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vatican.va\/roman_curia\/secretariat_state\/2007\/documents\/rc_seg-st_20070924_ipcc_en.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">climate change<\/a>) but not on others (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2015\/may\/26\/vatican-ireland-gay-marriage-referendum-vote-defeat-for-humanity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">homosexuality<\/a>) than Leo XIV. However, his closeness to Francis and the sensitivity of the issue might have persuaded some Democrats to forego the vote until after the installation to avoid starting some kind of Italian media feeding frenzy.<\/p>\n<p>This is also speculation, however, and the fact that he only advanced out of committee on a party-line vote because Orange Man Bad and Catholic who support Orange Man Also Bad doesn&rsquo;t precisely lend credence to this more nuanced view of the matter.<\/p>\n<p>The point is, we should have had an ambassador to the Vatican, especially as the first American pope was being installed.

In a speech on the Senate floor this week, GOP Senator Eric Schmitt from Missouri condemned Senate Democrats for delaying the confirmation vote for President Donald Trump&#8217;s nominee for ambassador to the Vatican, Brian Burch. As a result, while Burch was in Rome for Pope Leo XIV&#8217;s installation-who was born in Chicago-we currently lack an ambassador to the Holy See. Schmitt expressed his frustration after Democrats blocked a vote on Burch, who leads a pro-Trump religious group called CatholicVote. He noted that Republicans had sought unanimous consent for Burch&#8217;s appointment before the pope&#8217;s installation; however, Democrats chose to obstruct it.<\/p>\n<p>Schmitt remarked on social media about how surprising it is that &#8220;the resistance&#8221; would prevent an ambassador from being present at such an important event as a papal installation. He criticized them further by stating that their actions reflect total dysfunction on their part.<\/p>\n<p>While there may be reasons beyond Trump Derangement Syndrome explaining this situation, many complaints raised by Democrats during Burch&#8217;s confirmation hearing were related to his past criticisms of late Pope Francis and support for certain budget cuts under Trump that they argued conflicted with Catholic teachings.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen from New Hampshire referenced concerns from a liberal Catholic humanitarian organization regarding potential consequences of closing USAID offices and questioned how Burch would assure the Holy See of America&#8217;s commitment to aiding those in need without such resources available.<\/p>\n<p>Burch responded by highlighting effective programs run by Catholic NGOs but faced scrutiny due to previous controversies involving his organization during discussions about papal candidates in Italy. While it&#8217;s difficult to ascertain all motivations behind blocking his nomination, it seems clear we should have had an ambassador present during this significant moment in history-a situation exacerbated by political tensions surrounding Trump&#8217;s presidency and its impact even at international levels like Vatican City<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2435020,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/leo.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3685,55296,34207,43568],"class_list":["post-2435019","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-democrats","tag-political-insults","tag-pope-francis","tag-trump-derangement-syndrome"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/leo.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2435019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2435019"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2435019\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2435024,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2435019\/revisions\/2435024"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2435020"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2435019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2435019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2435019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
