President-elect Joe Biden, who will become the nation's second Roman Catholic president, is attending Mass this morning, along with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and congressional leaders at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington, D.C.
It's a church Biden attended both as vice president and as a senator, and it was the site of a service for the first Catholic president, John F. Kennedy, after his 1963 assassination.
Father Kevin O'Brien, the president of Santa Clara University, was scheduled to deliver the homily. Violinist Patricia Treacy, soprano Renée Fleming and the St. Augustine Gospel Choir were to perform.
Among those attending the service were House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.; Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.; soon to be Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.; and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.
Biden has made calls for unity after the four tumultuous years of his predecessor, President Trump, that culminated in a pro-Trump mob storming the U.S. Capitol in an effort to overturn the results of the presidential election.

As a devout Catholic myself, I can testify that he is Catholic in name only. You cannot be Catholic and support abortion. If he took Holy Communion, he did so at great risk to his eternal soul. I pray he has a conversion of heart on his stance of abortion.

Capt Gregory Prickett I didn’t judge him, the 10 commandments did. Regardless of whether you agree or not abortion is murder and commandment six is quite clear: thou shall not kill.
The Church may not have “officially” excommunicated him but has excommunicated himself because of his failure to change his ways and remains unrepentant on his stance on abortion.
Like I said, I have not and will not judge him. He is a sinner just like me and will always pray for him and his conversion.

CPO Rob Ponce - CPO Rob Ponce - now in addition to judging, you're misinterpreting the Bible, which clearly states that causing the death of a fetus isn't murder, but is only punishable by fine. And by saying that he has excommunicated himself, you're judging him again.

Capt Gregory Prickett except I’m not judging him and abortion is murder regardless of whether or not you choose to believe it or accept it. Peace be with you.

CPO Rob Ponce - Yes, you are, and no, it's not, at least according to the Bible, see Exodus 21:22-25. Second, according to the Bible, life begins at first breath, see Genesis 2:7, Job 33:4, Ezekiel 37:5-6.
