Why Marco Rubio goes to two churches

A piece on the religious beliefs of presidential candidate Marco Rubio says that he attends both a Baptist church with his family and also attends mass at theย  Roman Catholic church of his childhood.ย  This is because he appreciates gospel preaching and also โ€œcravesโ€ Holy Communion.ย  He says, โ€œI wondered why there couldnโ€™t be a church that offered both a powerful, contemporary gospel message and the actual body and blood of Jesus.โ€

There is such a thing, Marco Rubio!ย  Itโ€™s called the Lutheran church!ย  You donโ€™t have to go to two different churches to get both the Gospel and the true Body and Blood of Christ.ย  Those go together, which is the whole point of Lutheranism.ย  Why donโ€™t people know this?ย 

From 5 faith facts about Marco Rubio: โ€˜Once a Catholic always a Catholicโ€™ โ€“ Religion News Service:

Rubio wrote that Christ Fellowship deepened his relationship with Jesus, but that he missed Roman Catholicism. โ€œI craved, literally, the Most Blessed Sacrament, Holy Communion, the sacramental point of contact between the Catholic and the liturgy of heaven,โ€ he wrote. โ€œI wondered why there couldnโ€™t be a church that offered both a powerful, contemporary gospel message and the actual body and blood of Jesus.โ€ Starting in late 2004, he began to delve deeper into his Roman Catholic roots, reading the whole catechism, and concluding that โ€œevery sacrament, every symbol and tradition of the Catholic faith is intended to convey, above everything else, the revelation that God yearns, too, for a relationship with you.โ€
