Lots of prominent Catholic politicians have differed with official teachings, sometimes in public disagreements (abortion comes to mind as example #1), but Vance is the first guy I can recall to pope-splain to the pope himself. There's a big difference between saying, "well I respect Catholic teaching and believe we are operating according to just war doctrine" and what he actually said, which was shut up, Pope, stay in your lane.
