Biden's Catholic faith will be on full display as the first publicly churchgoing president in decades

Joe Biden rarely misses Sunday Mass. So it was notable when the President-elect didn't attend church on November 29, the first Sunday of Advent and the beginning of the season when Roman Catholics like Biden prepare for Christmas.

Biden's absence was understandable, since just a day earlier he had broken his foot. But the following weekend, Biden was back at his home parish in Wilmington, Delaware -- St. Joseph on the Brandywine -- for Saturday's vigil Mass. He was there again on Tuesday on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, a holy day of obligation.

That's a level of devotion to regular religious services not seen from recent presidents, who were professed Christians but intermittently attended church or worshipped privately while in office. Donald Trump has not had a habit of attending church services weekly, though he made several appearances at the Episcopal church in West Palm Beach near his resort as well as at various evangelical churches across the country.

Barack Obama would go to church for the occasional Christmas or Easter service in Washington or on vacation in Hawaii, but rarely during the rest of the year. And George W. Bush, being a high-profile born-again Christian, tended to worship privately as president at Camp David and intermittently attended church services in Washington, DC, and Texas.

But for Biden, who next month will become the second Catholic president in US history, attending weekly Mass is expected to be a fixed part of his schedule. And while it's unclear whether he will adopt a permanent parish in Washington during his term, Biden's churchgoing will not only provide a window into his spiritual side. It will also be core to his political brand -- apparent not just in the pursuit of his policy agenda but even in his schedule as...

Every time he receives the Body and Blood of Christ he condemns himself.

Joe, REPENT! For the Kingdom of Heaven is UPON YOU!

ROTFLMFAO!!!
A man that bends the knee to the demonic abortion god, Molech. A man that promotes just about every perversion known to mankind. A man that takes great pleasure in little girls. This stuff just writes itself.

Can’t they wait until he departs this life before they canonized him?

What a fraud.

Going to church is irrelevant if you are not right with God and no baby killing politician is in that position.

If cnn thinks that will endear him to Christians just cause he attends church, they have another thing coming.

We are not as stupid or naive or gullible as they hope (and think) we are.

Like when Billy Jeff Clinton went to church a couple of times. The Media fawned over that.

So the taxpayers are going to foot the bill for this criminal to fly to Georgia every Sunday to attend Warnick’s church?

Just because he attends mass does not make him a Catholic, or even a Christian.

Amazing, isn’t it? They’re just gonna continue to wiggle their stinky butts in our faces without a moments care that everything they do and say is one baldfaced lie after another.

Trump wasn’t a church going, wear it on his sleeve Christian. Same with GW - I doubt that few sincerely doubt his faith. 0bozo was (probably still is) a muzzie. Heck, even bubba is more of a Christian than Slo-Joe.

Did he go for the 8 years Obama was in the White House?

Did he go for the past 4 years?

Does he take Communion?

Does he confess his sins?
