Vice President JD Vance recently cited medieval Catholic theology in justifying the immigration crackdown under President Donald Trump.

“Just google ‘ordo amoris,’” he posted Jan. 30 on the social media platform X.

It’s been translated as “order of love” or “order of charity.” It’s a concept discussed by St. Augustine, an ancient theologian, who said everyone and everything should be loved in its own proper way.

“Now he is a man of just and holy life who ... neither loves what he ought not to love, nor fails to love what he ought to love, nor loves that more which ought to be loved less, nor loves that equally which ought to be loved either less or more, nor loves that less or more which ought to be loved equally,” Augustine wrote.

MAGAts and other Faux Christians often cherry-pick both the Bible and religious leaders. One thing they never do is quote Jesus such as the Sermon on the Mount or the Golden Rule of "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".

The only Jesus quote I've ever seen a MAGAt quote is Matthew 10:34...cherry-picked out of context, of course:
"Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
