The political gap between Protestant clergy and their congregations


Listen Later

White mainline Protestants are some of the country's largest religious groups. A new study shows their clergy tend to be more progressive than their churchgoers. We take a look at what that tells us about religion and political divisions in America today.

  • Plus, Senator Mitt Romney underscores our aging political landscape.
  • And, inflation eats away at American incomes.
  • Guests: Axios' Russell Contreras, Emily Peck and Joann Muller.
