If I was a Roman Catholic, I would be steamed that a a fake like Biden was purporting to be a Roman Catholic.

Seems I distictly remember Jesus distinctly warning against hypocrites who covered themselves in ashes and pretending to be pious (or somesuch).

Pro-abort corrupt Biden disgraces good, well-meaning Christians in the Roman Catholic Church by his fakery.

In fact, the Gospel reading you mention is the reading for the RC Mass today...So if apostate, Biden, attended Mass today, he would have heard this proclamation

Mt 6:1-6.16-18.

(But) take care not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them; otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly Father.
When you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win the praise of others. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.
But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right is doing, so that your almsgiving may be secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.
When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see them. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.
But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you. When you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites. They neglect their appearance, so that they may appear to others to be fasting. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.
But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you may not appear to be fasting, except to your Father who is hidden. And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you.

I also remember that Jesus dined with sinners as they, rather than the righteous, were in need of the good news!

The Gospel reading for today ..Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18 suggests that we don't parade around looking gloomy so that others will marvel at our piety.

Joe Biden wasn't parading around looking gloomy but was openly professing his faith in our Lord and salvation and not hiding the fact that he was participating in the start of Lent, a time for renewal, reflection and self mortification.

I say Congratulations to you Joe Biden, for not hiding your faith.

I could criticize him for a lot of things, but not for professing his faith in public where he is apt to be ridiculed by the likes of Beckel!
