Donald Trump may be a fierce debater and a brash critic who is always happy to speak his mind and then some, but there seems to be one place the presidential hopeful is more than happy to lay low - church.
Trump and his family attended the 10:30pm midnight mass service at Bethesda-By-The-Sea in West Palm Beach, Florida on Christmas Eve, and the billionaire businessman somehow managed to avoid the massive number of photographers and members of the press waiting outside to document his arrival.
Instead he slipped inside unnoticed for the service, with the only photographs from the evening coming from some of his fellow churchgoers who uploaded them to social media.

Trump's fellow midnight-mass attendees mostly just wrote on Twitter that they had spotted Trump at the service, with a few noting that they were checked by Secret Service members before entering the church.
His Secret Service detail may explain why he slipped in unnoticed as they likely coordinated his entrance to avoid any possible safety concerns for him and his family.

Presbyterians attend Mass?
It was an Episcopal mass.
My questions stands.
Sorry. I’m slow on the uptake. Ycmmv?
Is a high Epicsopal Church.
Indeed. My question stands.
Not sure I understand your question?
Fascinating.
I’ve attended Episcopal mass with my kin. I’m Southern Baptist. Not sure what’s your question.
Have you ever confessed your sins to God, and asked His forgiveness? Is doing so heresy? Is it wrong to humble yourself thus before your Creator? Is it wrong to believe that I need a Savior ... today?
Well... let's go to THE FACTS and see what he really said.
TRUMP: "I am not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don't think so," he said. "I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don't bring God into that picture. I don't."
(CNN SAYS)Trump said that while he hasn't asked God for forgiveness, he does participate in Holy Communion.
TRUMP: "When I drink my little wine -- which is about the only wine I drink -- and have my little cracker, I guess that is a form of asking for forgiveness, and I do that as often as possible because I feel cleansed," he said. "I think in terms of 'let's go on and let's make it right.'"
So, you're claim that he NEVER asked God for forgiveness is not true, according to THE FACTS instead of CNN's opinion or your opinion of what CNN told you.
Does it really matter? He isn’t a Muslim.
When asked if he has asked God for forgiveness, Trump replies, “I don’t think so.”
If someone has ever asked God for forgiveness, they would certainly remember having done so.
The facts are plain. What Trump has said is plain. Take it or or deny it.
OK. Do you think Trump ever used the Lord's prayer as a template or example of how to enter into prayer as a Christian ?
You (PURPOSELY) left out the part where he says that he takes communion as often as possible, and in communion, he deals with asking God for forgiveness.
The TACTIC of leaving out that part is a tactic that the MSM and DEMS use(just to name two groups).
As others here have said, “LETS HAVE THE FACTS”. You are only quoting the facts that support your argument.
Let me ask you, when you go to church do you ask GOD for forgiveness ?
But you left out the part where he described HOW and WHEN he does ask for forgiveness, BECAUSE YOU KNEW IT WOULD BLOW YOUR ARGUMENT.
You have committed the SIN OF OMISSION. Have you begged God for forgiveness ?
You need to read MORE than just what the MSM tells you Trump said.
Trump said that while he hasn't asked God for forgiveness, he does participate in Holy Communion.
"When I drink my little wine -- which is about the only wine I drink -- and have my little cracker, I guess that is a form of asking for forgiveness, and I do that as often as possible because I feel cleansed," he said. "I think in terms of 'let's go on and let's make it right.'"
Which would God find more ‘Christian’ ?
A man who begs for forgiveness every time he repeats the same sins over and over ?
Or a man who tries NEVER to repeat the same sin and feels like MASS is where he is forgiven of the sins he did commit ? (which is WHAT HE SAID, but you left out)
It is if you have no plans to quit those particular sins.
Have you EVER repeated any of the sins you asked God to forgive you for ?
Of course it doesn’t matter. Except that he made a big deal a couple of months ago about his Presbyterian Sunday School background. So, I was surprised.
