Vice President JD Vance's upcoming book, 'Communion,' describes his journey toward the Catholic faith and includes an official apology for negative comments he made about political opponents in the past.

副總統 JD Vance 即將出版的新書《Communion》，描述了他走向天主教信仰的歷程，並針對他過去對政治對手所發表負面評論正式道歉。

In the new book, Vice President Vance describes his 2021 comments about Democratic officials as 'childless cat ladies' as a mistake in judgment. He explains that these remarks were intended to provoke people rather than provide a clear argument. Consequently, he admits that this language hid his actual point about how society views parents. This is a change from his position in 2024, when he previously refused to apologize for the comments.

在新書中，副總統 Vance 描述他在 2021 年將民主黨官員形容為「沒有孩子的貓女」是一個判斷錯誤。他解釋這些言論旨在挑釁而非提供清晰的論點。因此，他承認這種措辭掩蓋了他關於社會如何看待父母的真正觀點。這與他在 2024 年的立場不同，當時他先前拒絕為這些言論道歉。

Furthermore, the book explains how Vance moved from Protestantism and atheism to Catholicism. This spiritual change influences his current views on abortion. Although he remains pro-life, Vance acknowledges that this position is unpopular with many voters, pointing to a 2023 Ohio law as an example. He emphasizes that the pro-life movement should be more compassionate to convince the public, as he recognizes the difficult economic and social pressures that lead women to choose abortion.

此外，書中解釋了 Vance 如何從新教和無神論轉向天主教。這次心靈轉變影響了他目前對墮胎的看法。儘管他依然支持反墮胎，但 Vance 承認這一立場並不受許多選民歡迎，並以 2023 年俄亥俄州的一項法律為例。他強調反墮胎運動應展現更多同情心以說服大眾，因為他意識到導致女性選擇墮胎的經濟與社會壓力十分沉重。

On a personal level, the memoir highlights the influence of his wife, Usha Vance, and the impact of the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The Vances state that the grief felt by Erika Kirk after her husband's death encouraged them to have a fourth child. However, this has caused some criticism. Opponents argue there is a contradiction between his pro-life views and his social media description of having 'almost' four children, suggesting that this phrasing ignores the status of the unborn child.

在個人層面，這本回憶錄強調了他的妻子 Usha Vance 的影響，以及保守派活動家 Charlie Kirk 去世所帶來的衝擊。Vance 夫婦表示，Erika Kirk 在丈夫去世後所感受到的悲痛，鼓勵了他們生育第四個孩子。然而，這引起了一些批評。反對者認為，他的反墮胎觀點與他在社交媒體上描述自己「幾乎」有四個孩子的說法之間存在矛盾，暗示這種措辭忽略了未出生胎兒的地位。

Vice President Vance continues to manage the balance between his personal faith, his changing political language, and the public criticism of his beliefs.

副總統 Vance 繼續在個人信仰、不斷改變的政治語言以及大眾對其信仰的批評之間尋求平衡。
