I was in the room multiple times when President Biden met with and prayed with Catholic bishops. They didn’t run cameras, because he and those present didn’t want to politicize prayer and encounter for electoral gain. When Biden lost his second child in May 2015, he prayed nearly all night in front of the Blessed Sacrament. It’s the same thing he did in 1972 when he lost his daughter and late wife to a drunk driver. He went to Mass every single Sunday as president, oftentimes next to the parish cemetery of his children, and relied on his faith to guide him through hell and high water. You might not like his politics, but I encourage you to act with Christian charity towards the sincerity of his faith and take the view of the late Pope Francis, who called him a “good Catholic” in 2021.
