Who knew?

Of the 62 members who are new to Congress this session, nearly half are Protestant and about a third are Catholic. 

• The half Protestant matches the national makeup, where 51.3% identify as Protestant Christian.
• But the third Catholic is a good deal higher than the national makeup, where 20.8% identify as Catholic Christian.
