Catholic Diocese of Yakima Bishop Joseph Tyson criticized Vice President J.D. Vance in both a letter issued earlier this week and from the pulpit during his Sunday homily.

Tyson addressed Vance’s comments, and others made during the vice president’s Jan. 26 “Face the Nation” interview with CBS reporter Margaret Brennan, in his Feb. 2 homily during Masses at St. Paul Cathedral in Yakima, diocesan spokesman Msgr.
