Is Joe Biden a worse Catholic than JD Vance, or vice versa?
The Church teaches a hierarchy of sin. Some mortal sins are worse than other mortal sins. For instance, Aquinas taught that masturbation was worse than fornication or adultery, because fornication was ordered to the natural world and procreation, lacking only the marriage vow, while adultery was a violation of the vow, but still ordered to the natural world. Meanwhile, masturbation is not ordered to the natural world since it is rooted in fantasy and cannot lead to procreation.
Same is true of Biden vs Vance. Biden advocated murder and homosexuality, both of which are completely disordered. Vance does not advocate either. So, while you can take issue with either one, Vance is clearly the superior Catholic.
