@esejacky I think it means in between. It’s a big deal that Biden attended mass and had permission from the Pope to receive communion. He is a supporter of abortion rights although he is a strong Catholic, and his stance is very controversial. It’s sort of a side story to his being in Rome for the G-20 Summit.

I heard President Biden is the second Catholic president, but I don't know much about the difference between Catholic and Protestant. What do you think is the biggest difference between them?

@esejacky どういたしまして。😊 Catholics follow the Pope who is the head of the Catholic Church. Protestants do not follow the Pope. There are also many different kinds of Protestants, and they all have different interpretations of the Bible and varying beliefs. I was raised Catholic by my dad and went to Catholic school so am very critical of the Catholic Church. I did not have a good experience. People cause a lot of trouble in the name of religion and it’s not how it should be. My mom was Buddhist so I had a very unusual experience.🙃

Thanks again.
Catholic dad and Buddhist mom? Then you had to act as a bridge between religions, right?
There are a lot of Buddhists in Japan, but most of them are not devout. In my case, I don't know if I'm a buddhist or not, hahaha. I hope religions only help people become happy, and won't cause any trouble.

@esejacky Oh! I like that phrase “a bridge between religions.” ☺️You’ve probably read about the religious right here in the US. It’s not the Jesus I learned about. 😔 Lol. Of all the questions you could have asked…😂
