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.

It’s shocking to see it in real-time.
š Exactly. Donāt sit too close to Biden in church, lest you absorb a high voltage bolt out of the blue.
Very true. I plan to be there, at the great white throne, and rise with the men of Nineveh and the Queen of Sheba, and condemn jerks like him.
I know what you mean. It is going to be horrible.
I pray that President Trump has some ace up his sleeve to put an end to this. I know he’s trying, and not necessarily for himself, but for the millions of people who voted for him.
Yeah, I think I’ll age three times as fast during a Biden presidency.
