NEW: Unlike Trump, who religiously played golf at his namesake courses & did not regularly attend church while in office, Biden can usually be found on weekends at either St. Joseph on the Brandywine in Delaware or DC's Holy Trinity Catholic Church. ($) businessinsider.com/biden-catholic…
Biden has called his faith "the bedrock foundation of my life." But church is both a source of comfort and controversy. His longstanding support for abortion rights is renewing criticism & debate now that he's president on whether he should be allowed to receive Communion.
The pastor at Holy Trinity where Biden goes has also received more than 125 emails, letters, and phone calls from people outside the church protesting the president receiving Communion because of his abortion stance.
"It is controversial, but that comes with the territory," the Rev. Kevin Gillespie told @ngaudiano "When I see something postmarked from Texas or Minnesota or California who I don't recognize, I know what's going to be in there."
