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.
The vast majority use their religion when it suits them. I
That "quality" is not limited to practicing Catholics. But we are none of us perfect.
There's a lot I don't like about the Catholic Church. Do I wish the church was different in some ways? Sure, but I consider Catholicism something that my ancestors handed down to me, not unlike the shape of my nose or the color of my eyes.

And the organization that protected predator priests is right with God? Seems the church should remember Matthew 7:1-3: Judge not, that ye be not judged.

Apparently not Biden. We should be reminded weekly that he attends mass.
Well,there was Matthew who said: And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
The vast majority use their religion when it suits them. I know you’re not a full catholic... you’d be more willing to help the needy if you were. Another example was woman I was seeing for a bit a couple years ago. I knew she was a bit... on the easy side who went on a rant about how catholic she was. You can’t pick and choose what teachings you follow is my point. It’s all or nothing if you want to claim to be fully invested in it.
It’s fine to be a catholic in name only Rachel... most are... just own it is my point. Don’t hide from it.
This is just TOO funny! You are accusing me of not being a full Catholic? Why would you assume I’m Catholic at all? I simply defended Catholics against people such as you who have disdain for them.
this is the type of "coverage" Biden will be getting for his term
