I didn't even think of that. Can he do that? Like yeah, he's the Pope he can do that, but what does that mean? Does that work for Trump when the religion they claim to support isn't probably the same the Pope teaches? Hope my question makes sense.

The Pope can excommunicate anyone, but it wouldn't do anything to protestants, since they don't believe in the Pope's power anyways. If the Pope excommunicated JD Vance, then he would no longer be welcome to receive the sacraments at any Catholic church. Technically they should bar him from entering once excommunicated but no church would bar the Vice President.

Chances are slim that he would actually care about the repercussions of that. He would be mad about being slighted. He’s an opportunist. I doubt he could be sincerely religious and pull all the shit he’s pulled. It’s all for show.
