Religious Leaders Welcome Joe Biden’s Election as 2nd Catholic to Win Presidency
ABC’s Matthew Vann and Ivan Pereira report that Joe Biden will be the nation’s second Catholic president, after John F. Kennedy. “During his victory speech Saturday night, Biden—who regularly attends Mass and has long been open about his faith—quoted Ecclesiastes 3:1-3 from the Bible. ‘To everything there is a season: a time to build, a time to reap, and a time to sow and a time to heal,’ he said. ‘This is the time to heal in America.'” He ended his speech by quoting the popular Catholic hymn, “On Eagle’s Wings.”
