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.

His brand? Really?
Didn't someone say that was the wrong spirit toward approaching the divine?
These people are truly degenerate and disgusting.
Remember Slick Willie and his bulging Bible, emerging from that liberal church in D.C.? Along with that smarmy grin?
I always thought those 6-photo white circles were for the idiots watching his speeches. But obviously they were for him when Jill wasn’t around to tell him what 6 feet was.
It’s like a sick joke on America
Just scary there are ppl fooled by him
I have actually talked to people who bought the *Joe has a stuttering problem* line of BS the media kept pushing.
Oh yeah, Biden will be a great church going president.
And the pope is a great leader of the Church.
Joe and Francis will do what they can to restore “order” to the world.
God Help Us.
Biden is totally unfit for the office, and neither is his side kick Harris. I pray God will see this country through this absolute farce and seat the rightful man the people chose for another 4 years!
So being Catholic is now ok with the mass media?
Here comes Romanism. First thing, he will recall Calista.
So - they tell Barrett she shouldn’t be on SCOTUS because of her faith and then tell us how great it is that Biden has his faith - they trash a good person and elevate a liar who has no faith to comfort us that Biden isn’t evil..
And Joe will take on the mantle of Pharisee.
Pray for our church
I hope the church doesn’t collapse...trying to fit all that hypocrisy in the door could be dangerous
Only after a THIRD Personage appears...
That’s about it...
