The New York Times praised President Joe Biden’s faith on Saturday, calling Biden the “most religiously observant commander in chief in half a century” and crediting him with ushering in a “different, more liberal Christianity,” by publicly attending Catholic Mass — even though Biden has run afoul of Catholic hierarchy for his recent change of heart on abortion.

Bush, who is a committed Evangelical Christian.
