You can find the quote during the Q&A section here, although Seitz ALSO responds to Vance's suggestion that Catholic bishops are more concerned about their "bottom line" early on in the program: https://www.youtube.com/live/cbIp--HGxO8

His rebuke is based on Pope Francis's letter: https://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/it/bollettino/pubblico/2025/02/11/0127/00261.html

Seitz is drawing on commentary by Fr. James Martin two weeks ago https://bsky.app/profile/jamesmartinsj.bsky.social/post/3lgykrye6q22i

Bishop Seitz, and before him Fr. Martin, were drawing on teaching which most Catholics are or should be aware of. The sad and infuriating thing is that JD Vance literally "weaponized" his ignorance of the faith he now claims, with his uninformed, amateur "theology".
