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...

In all seriousness, I would appreciate him making peace with God. Doing the right thing. And conceding the election.

I kinda think this is Joe Biden's preferred version of his faith.

>>LOL, Biden is as religious as his crack smoking son.

I can picture Hunter Biden calling out God’s name in some of his sexual trysts. Or the morning after a drug and booze bender.

Or how about when he realized that other people had seen the contents of his laptop?

You just can’t make this stuff up.

Here’s a man that broke a number of laws while Vice-President
and they’re going to play him off as a Christian? He advocates
for killing the unborn.

The Left is absolutely clueless.

“All men and women are created, by the, you know, you know the thing” - Joe Biden

Sounds like an agnostic man at best.

And every Catholic priest and bishop (e.g. Wilton Gregory) who gives Biden Holy Communion will be on public display as apostates.

Taking bribery $$, stealing elections through fraud and supporting killing innocent babies via abortions are such high virtues of the holy Joe.

>> the first publicly churchgoing president in decades <<

So wait, Obama was lying about attending Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago with his wife every Sunday? George W. Bush was lying about turning to Christ after struggling with alcholism in the 80s and regularly attending Highland Park United Methodist Church in Dallas after that?

Huh?

This fits in with end times deception

Not really. Biden fools no one. Unbelievers don't care, and Believers know that he is a fraud. I know what you mean:

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

But the Very Elect are not closed to being deceived by this grifter. The real AntiChrist will apparently be more subtle. We might be entering into tribulation times, but the man of sin is yet to be revealed.
