“I go to Mass and I say the rosary."First of all, a Catholic would capitalize "Rosary," but that may be a reporter's transcription, so whatever. Regardless, here Biden is suggesting that the Rosary is part of the Liturgy. Had he meant these as separate events, he'd have said, "I go to Mass, and I also say the rosary." If he prays the Rosary during Mass, I suppose that's okay, but rather uncommon and highly doubtful.
Sacred objects, set aside for divine worship by dedication or blessing, are to be treated with reverence. They are not to be made over to secular or inappropriate use, even though they may belong to private persons."Just seems like more b.s. from Biden. I can't say for sure, but that's my informed impression.
Through the campaign and into the transition, Biden not only rarely missed weekend mass at his home parish in Delaware, he also attended services on holy days of obligation and made an effort to attend services while traveling .... But he has also opted for in-home services. Over Christmas, when the Bidens never left their Wilmington home, a close family friend, Rev. Kevin O’Brien*, a Jesuit priest who is now president of Santa Clara University, celebrated mass for the Bidens virtually.Nice, he gets private Mass, but it's simply a lie that he attended his local parish services regularly throughout 2020.
Sunday services: Biden's faith on display in renewed presidential ritual
[* O'Brien, btw, is a piece of work, and of a kind for Joey: Santa Clara University President Kevin O’Brien resigns after ‘inappropriate behaviors’: Investigation found indiscretions during dinner conversations with Jesuit grad studentsInto the inauguration, it just got stupid, such as this from CNN, which claimed in Dec/2020:
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 President.As of today in March of 2023, the best the Bing AI Chat can come up with is four (4) documented times Joey has attended mass since becoming President, and that includes friendly sources such as NYSlimes, CNN and the leftist National Catholic Reporter.
Biden’s Catholic faith will be on full display as the first publicly churchgoing president in decades
"The inauguration of Joe Biden, the nation's second Catholic president and a regular churchgoer, not surprisingly resulted in a slew of secular media coverage of the president's faith, as religion reporters seem to breathe a sigh of relief that the new commander in chief actually practices religion, rather than crassly abuses it.I suppose this reporter actually believes that Joey "actually practices religion," but she might want to back that up with "actual" demonstrations of it.
Liberal Catholicism: We've been here all along
What, over a Zoom call? That doesn't actually count as Mass attendance or fulfill a Sunday obligation.
Praying the Rosary at Mass was a common practice, particularly among women, during the Latin Mass. Not able to understand the prayers, save the Gospel reading and homily, many women took to saying the Rosary as a way of offering prayer during the Mass.
