It’s been decades since the occupant of the White House has been a regular churchgoer; President Biden is expected to end that.

Biden attended the noon service at Holy Trinity on Sunday — one of the few that the church is conducting in person during the health crisis. But administration officials would not say if the, for whom mass is a family affair, has decided which, if any, local church he might make his own for the next four years.

Barack Obama also liked to hit the links on Sundays but did attend occasional services at different area churches, including St. John's. John F. Kennedy, the nation’s first Catholic president, joined St. Matthews in Washington while he was in office and would attend church regularly. After the Cuban Missile Crisis, Kennedy attended a different church, St. Stephen Martyr, because it was smaller and easier to secure. Part of the reason Kennedy went to church while in the White House was “he thought that a president should,” said presidential historian Michael Beschloss.

“Almost always we find that we never really understood a president’s private religious belief and practice at the time he served,” Beschloss said. “And you usually have to wait decades to find out what he believed and what he practiced.”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.

Yall trying to make sleepy Joe look upstanding and competent after spending over 4 years trying to make Trump look the opposite. This is why you can't be trusted.

Didn't you guys make fun of a senator for being religious, this is disgusting

To all you evangelicals, this is the President you should be supporting, he has the faith, your continued support for the Trump and his church of golf should not warrant your support.

Just because you sit in a church doesn't make you a Christian anymore than sitting in a garage makes you a car. It's a heart issue not a building you go to. You have to give you're whole being to trusting and honoring The Lord. Even the devil believes in God.

Who cares? Are you saying only church goers are good people? (let’s not forget the Catholic Priest sex scandal).

He goes to church faithfully So you people have nothing else to say Go get a hobby how about cliff jumping Wit a shute

Anything a politician can do for a photo-op

BABY KILLER GOES TO CHURCH FOR FORGIVENESS

Doesn't Catholics go against abortion Oh he thinks he knows better?

Reminds me of the pharisees who liked being looked at in public trying to look religious but far from it. Pandering china joe

Just cause he goes to church doesn't mean he's honest. He is as crooked as the day is long.

Is this news?

I thought Democrats hated Christians...

👍

Who cares? Separation of church and state. His religion should not affect his governance.

Donald went to church...

Not his most admirable quality, that’s for sure.

I have made $100k with $DOGE so far, and will be giving away $2000 today to anyone who follows and retweets

Ummmmm okkkj

Just for show Christian men don’t publicity grope young females. He has the name CREEPY JOE for a reason

And only single masking... FRAUD.

Wgaf he is still dropping bombs in 7 countries Christian in name only, You can’t be a warmonger and a follower of jc

Trump was never a Christian to begin with.

Put God First!

Dear JoeBiden i have in MY HEART forgiven DJT 4 the ACTIONS (serious) of 300 or less on 162021 which leads me to this AT LEAST he would ANSWER ME in ways & COMMUNICATE w/ 3 pats to the leg & but you have FAILED thus far in ANY OF THAT - baby needs shoes where is MY 6 & 1400

What happened to the Muller Report Everyone of the REPUBLICANS that continue to justify the hateful and criminal behavior of Trump and his allies need to be removed from your seats permanently!!! Especially Mitch McConnell PERIOD!!!!!

When you are talking about a Catholic Mass (church service), the world 'Mass' is capitalized.

Praise GOD. A breath of fresh air and a little slice of heaven in our midst. I believe every President represents GOD. They should seek His word and His will on all worldly and serious matters. Pres. Biden's relationship with GOD....matters.

It also serves a GIANT F U to the right-wing evangelicals and oddly THAT doesn't bother me one bit. 😏

That's like inviting the devil over for Sunday dinner .. sickening !!!!!

Biden is looking at two ppl w/ experience advising monopolies to head DOJ anti-trust division Less than 1 month in office & one thing is clear: Dems are lying dog faced pony soldiers that do NOT have your best interests in mind DNCHypocrisy should be trending w GOPHypocrisy

Stop treating that man like he’s a saint!!

We have a pet-friendly President. I’m good. Trump and had time for himself.

Wow I never knew we still have great writers.she wrote a unique article that has increased my traffic and sales.Need her service? This her URL (

But God told them to be presidents.

It hasn’t made him a moral man - just a hypocritical one!

While Funding Overseas Abortions!

I thought Obama was a regular Sunday-go-to-meetin' kinda guy?

РОТЕНБЕРГ СКУПИЛ АМЕРИКУ

With his palms?

It was Crazy when the Evangelicals would Pray over Trump ! It Looks like the EXORCISM didn’t work on Trump !!😂 Plus the Fact Falwell Jr watched his wife screw the Pool Boy ! And Evangelicals didn’t Care that Trump grabbed P...y Yes , Biden is GRACE sent to Us !!

Hipocracy at its finest!

What a joke, why bother?

What a refreshing scene. God Bless you Mr. President.

Religions are responsable of so many wars! Religions in Politics is very dangerous!

Liberals are very confused how to handle this. They hate Christians yet Dear Leader is a devout Catholic... what to do, what to do?

Why does he go to church? I thought he believe in the science?

I was sexually assaulted on 1/4/18 in the middle of the night & have been criminally victimized & harassed for 3 years. I deserve justice! Will you help me get a FBI/FBIPhoenix/TheJusticeDept investigation?

hahahahahaha! What crap!

Decency has reclaimed the WH.

The Catholic abortion supporter? Waiting for the excommunication.

He better pray daily for all aborted fetuses, he opened a path for unrestricted abortions and now sponsoring abortions throughout the 🌎.

Another reason not to like him.

Not walking the walk!

Người yêu: tìm hiểu nếu thấy hợp, không có chỉ tiêu rõ ràng

As he send millions to foreign countries for abortions. Hahahahaha. What a joke POTUS is.

Bigotry

He's a puppet. He goes where they tell him to go.

Regular churchgoer! Does he leave before the priest mentions the sanctity of life from conception until natural death?!!!

You ran this dumb ass story AGAIN He already ended it! There is no story here.

Sorry, churches are closed.

I’m with Joe, but I don’t care. The fact that the media harps on this shit is a huge problem. Faith & politics should not be intertwined, that was largely Reagan’s doing, & I will hate him until I die for it. Separation of Church & State, dammit! Let the man pray, leave us out.

Teen Rapper Kills 6 Family Members Including A Pregnant Woman After Being Scolded Over Curfew

That's because the religious right all ran in there and put their hands on Trump said he was the savior didn't matter if he grabbed wound by the privates and all that kind of stuff lied 30 thousand times they put their hands on him said praise the Lord🙄🙄🙄

It doesn't matter, There is a separation of Church and State in our government, STOP RELENTLESSLY TWEETING THIS POISON (*I know I know by replying and having people reply just means they're going to keep pumping this bullshit out even faster*)

And I'll bet he manages to hold the Bible right side up too.

Trump never goes.

Amen!

I thought we had separation of church and state

Sad!

Church goer lol He likes pizza too

Maybe he'll hear a sermon on the sanctity of human or gender while he's there...

His favorite book in the Bible is Palmists.

Don't forget most demons are cast out at church not market places...the question be...how did they get there.

🤡🤡🤡

Church goer 😂😂😂. Just because you put a car in a garage doesn’t make it a car folks.

Homeland Security Committee Releases Report Outlining Biden Family Selling U.S. Policy for Personal, Financial Gain Posted on January 16, 2021 by Sundance The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee finalizes a report .

Biden has signed 30 plus executive orders but you decide to cover THIS.

I most like that President Biden is a very faithful Catholic and he doesn't appear to wear it on his sleeve as so many fervent Christians do. He also doesn't seem to feel the need to proselytize either. I appreciate that.

His sheep will follow. Do as he says.

In this church,they probably learn how to hold their bibles right side up.

GOD IS ON OUR SIDE🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

So pleased

Somehow, Christian zealots will find a reason why that's horrible

Can he take communion? His practices are to kill babies. No morals in that.

$47.5M Foreign Country Money granted to 17000 in NY. PRESIDENT BUSH ATTACKED and told me to say hi daily. Agent said he attacked CLINTON for War.

Joe Biden claims to be a practicing Catholic. Catholics don’t believe in ripping babies from their mothers womb. JoeBiden excommunicate.

I don't care whether the president goes to church as long as he/she is intelligent, empathetic, law-abiding, believes in science, decent person. Many folks attend church but never learn or practice the teachings

I voted for Biden but I dont care about church-going. athiests can be good people too.

'The less said about Lincoln's religion, the better'. So counseled Judge Davis in Chicago to Lincoln's Illinois operatives rounding up delegates to nominate him for the presidency in 1860.

Oh yay let’s just say f it & applaud the lack of separation between church & state in this statement. 🙃

THANK YOU! The Press, in 2021, has a very bad name, but articles like THIS, using words like “expected” days into a Presidency really gets back to your hard-hitting roots when Americans respected you much more. With articles like these, Journalism will thrive for DECADES!!

Tax the churches.

But.. but I thought he was going to cancel God!!?

Kamala Harris quashed the prosecution of sex-predator Catholic priests & cover-ups by high clergy in CA. Joe's churchiness is a backward step & a bad sign. Where was your feature article when President Obama quoted Thomas Paine in his 1st Inaugural? Well? Show me please.

I thought the left canceled God

tRump worshipped power & money on the golf course.

Pedophilia is big for Catholics

It's provides a great cover

there’s no proof god exists

I hope this is the only time I see this story. I am glad he uses Sundays for church not golf, but we need to get used to a president who practices his faith.

As fake as his mask

When did Catholics start believing in/approving of birth control & abortions? Fake Catholic CatholicSchools CatholicChurch
