Religious Composition of the 114th Congress

[OldSchool2]

from Pew Research:

"When the new, 114th Congress is sworn in on Jan. 6, 2015, Republicans will control both chambers of the legislative body for the first time since the 109th Congress (2005-2006). Yet, despite the sea change in party control, there is relatively little change in the overall religious makeup of Congress, according to a new study by the Pew Research Center. More than nine-in-ten members of the House and Senate (92%) are Christian, and about 57% are Protestant, roughly the same as in the 113th Congress (90% and 56%, respectively).1 About three-in-ten members (31%) are Catholic, the same as in the previous Congress ...

"Fully two-thirds of the Republicans in the 114th Congress (202 members, or 67%) are Protestant, about a quarter are Catholic (81, or 27%), and 5% are Mormon (14).

"Democrats in the new Congress are somewhat more religiously diverse than Republicans, though not as diverse as the population as a whole...."

These same "Christians" advocate gay marrage and abortion on demand. Then they want to receive communion.

And the Catholic Church is all too eager to give it to them, thanks in part to the late Mario Cuomo.

Liberal Democrats are Christian in name only. There's no way around it. They can't wholeheartedly support the things that God hates and still belong to His family.
