JD Vance also isn’t really a great Catholic. His political ideology is incompatible with some of the positions of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church values charity, compassion, peace, and humility. The Catholic Church doesn’t believe that might makes right or that the poor are inferior to the wealthy. That’s totally opposite of Catholic teachings, and you can listen to pope Leo give his thoughts on this subject.

"In the Gospel story of the "Widow's Mite" (Mark 12:41-44, Luke 21:1-4), Jesus observes a poor widow donating two small copper coins (lepta) to the Temple treasury. He tells his disciples that she gave more than the rich, as they gave from their abundance, while she gave everything she had to live on. "

The British Empire, the largest empire in history only conquered 25% of the Earth’s land. Our own galaxy is 200,000 light years across and there are trillions of galaxies in the observable universe. The entire universe is probably infinite. People who want to conquer to achieve greatness don’t understand how small their existence really is.

Then even humans as a species, we live on one planet. We’ve never sent anything to another star system. The nearest star is four light years away. The fastest man made object ever, the parker solar probe reached a speed of 635,266 kilometers per hour. A light year is 9,460,730,472,580.8 kilometers. Meaning it would take out most advanced technology we’ve ever created 59,570,198.768 years just to get from Earth to the nearest star, and our galaxy has something on the order of magnitude of a hundred billion stars. We really still are completely at the mercy of nature.

The universe is 13.8 billion years old and the earth is 4.5 billion years old. Expanding outwards into space might be a really bad idea.

Or just as an example of how bad it could be, based on what we currently know about physics, we don’t have the ability to produce large amounts of antimatter, we can just produce individual atoms. But if you could produce macroscopic amounts of antimatter, you could create a bomb that’s 100 times more efficient than a hydrogen bomb at converting matter into energy. So it’s entirely possible a civilization more advanced than us might be able to just get rid of planets if they feel like it.
