About this episode
Do “Politics & Religion” mix? PEW Research polling shows half of all Americans believe religion should not influence US laws – that your congressman should not legislate based on his religious beliefs. But what if that congressman happens to be a priest?
Have priests even served in the U.S. Congress? Surprisingly, the answer is “yes.” In this episode Scott treks thru the history of the priests who have served in the US Congress.
