I fully agree with you about Carter being the best person. Trump is clearly the worst.

You forgot:


If he's Trump he's beholden to the religious Right and evangelicals.

Unlike most presidents of recent vintage, Biden is a regular church-goer, going to mass most Sundays. The same can't be said of most recent president. Not even Bush #2, in spite of being an evangelical protestant, got to church on a regular basis. I'm not sure, but I think you might have to go back to Jimmy Carter to find a president who attended church services regularly.

Granted, the office of POTUS restricts what one can publicly do. But at least it's his plan to attend some church in DC on a regular basis.

So what if he goes to church?

Biden wouldn't know where he was. He might think he died and gone to heaven...... Where little kids could rub his hairy leg.

'After Joe Biden was nominated as a vice presidential candidate in the 2008 presidential election, Bishop Joseph Francis Martino of Biden's hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, said Biden would be refused communion in that diocese because of his support for abortion.'

I am not a Catholic....or any religion for that matter. But I do believe killing babies is wrong....very wrong. I believe in personal responsibility for one's actions. Play the game....pay the consequences....don't take it out on the unborn child.

I don't think your statement..."none of you concern yourselves," reflects reality. Many people and organizations, religious or not, provide support to the poor and sick. Hopefully you are among them.

I suppose in a sense it doesn't matter. But I thought it was interesting that the most faithful church-going president in recent history will be a democrat, since we're usually used to hearing that republicans are more religious.

You might want to cite your sources for the above BS.

And hopefully it isn't from a source that "debunked" Hunter Biden's cozy arrangement with China pre-election...that "Good Catholic Joe" partook in.
shameless excuses for the Biden's is all you can expect from the Dems. When he was younger he was a brash, draft dodging, loud mouth, privileged liar, just like Trump. Now that he appears ancient, all is forgiven. Hypocrisy at it's finest.

Old Joe has been turned away more than once from receiving communion in the Catholic Church. He's the poster boy for Cafeteria Catholics in the modern world.

Your arse sitting in a pew every Sunday really has no bearing on faith, spirituality, morality, goodness or religion.

The Bushes and Obamas both attended church regularly, and still do now that they are out of office.
