Summary

Vice President JD Vance prayed for Pope Francis's health and acknowledged criticism of the administration's immigration crackdown. This represents a rare acknowledgment of policy criticism.

Why This Score

This event involves a Vice President making a symbolic statement acknowledging criticism while praying for the Pope's health. There is zero constitutional damage: no mechanism affecting elections, rule of law, separation of powers, civil rights enforcement, institutional capture, corruption, or violence. The acknowledgment itself changes nothing about immigration policy or enforcement. The B-score is minimal (7.1) - some media friendliness due to Pope connection and novelty of rare acknowledgment, but limited outrage potential or meme-ability. The intentionality score of 6 reflects strategic political positioning (acknowledging criticism while maintaining policy) but this is routine political communication. With A<25, no constitutional mechanism, and clear noise indicators (symbolic only, no policy change, narrow impact), this definitively classifies as Noise.
