As soon as I saw the Indian wife - still Hindu! - I was tepid on Vance, and as much as I dislike Nick he has a point.
Vance is capable of talking like a real person, though, and he's gotten more based, not less. For him to sign on with Trump at this point, after J6 and multiple felonies, says a lot.
Or follow the tenets of Catholicism and raise your children Catholic, not Hindu.
As a fellow convert from agnosticism to Catholicism, I understand some of where Vance comes from, but the biggest “no-no” is the fact that he is now Catholic, but he isn’t raising his kids Catholic.
Should he have divorced his wife when he converted if she was unwilling to convert? At that point they already had at least one child.
If he divorces his wife, does he get custody, or her? If (when) his wife gets custody, which religion are his children likely to adopt: his or hers?
There are good reasons to not do what he did (if his conversion was genuine it must weigh heavily on him that he won't be with his wife when they die), but you don't get do-overs.
there are plenty of good reasons to divorce your wife. simply because you no longer like her skin color, or a bunch of Internet dipshits are pressuring you to, are not good reasons.

Should he have divorced his wife when he became "more based"?
Sometimes you have to live with the decisions you've made in the past.
He could've given his son a proper Christian name
He could have actually been a Catholic or Christian and not marry outside his religion for the first thing.

He wasn't a Catholic when he got married.

no
Depends on the wife
