President Joe Biden claimed Sunday that he stopped attending Catholic Mass in high school and instead began regularly visiting a black church in Delaware.
He also said I could continue my Catholicism by visiting a black church since we went daily to 7:30 a.m. mass throughout high school and college. Not.
During his speech in Atlanta, Georgia’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, commemorating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Biden shared his story with the black congregation.
Even though longtime members of the black church in Delaware have denied ever seeing President Biden there, he has persisted in saying he has ties to the church.
And in October 2020, Biden made a similar comment to the congregation of the Bethlehem Baptist Church in South Carolina.
“I’d go to Mass at eight o’clock, then head over to Reverend Herring’s church, where we’d assemble to organize and figure out where we were going, whether we would desegregate the Rialto movie theater or what we were doing,” he said.
Biden has insisted, despite widespread doubt, that he attended a predominantly black church.
At an NAACP rally in Iowa in 2020, he said: “I was reared in the black church politically – not a joke.”
President Biden honored Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with remarks at a church service in Atlanta.
Having the pledge to count on is the most critical factor. Never lose faith in the future. We have to believe,” he said in response. The legacy of Dr. King developed like this, ladies and gentlemen. Confidence in the future is essential, and that’s the direction we must go.
Obama alluded to a song he said he knew Martin Luther King, Jr.’s favorite during his speech.
He had reached the point where he could say, “I don’t think He took me this far to leave me.”
