It used to be that in American Politics Clergymen had easy access to politicians. Maybe to give advice or voice a concern, Clergymen would be welcomed by officials of all levels.
Not so anymore.
The Washington Post recounts a story about D.C. Reverend having trouble meeting with local politicians. Apparently, this used to not be the case in the D.C. area. Times have changed.
There was no such thing as putting a pastor on hold
Now Pastors don't even get an answer.
Why the shift in Politicians' view towards the spiritual leaders?
Whereas it used to be that pastors could offer needed advice, now they are a liability. Church wisdom seems old and superstitious. Plus, four years with a hyper-religious commander-in-chief did not help the matter.
Now, instead of a help Clergymen are a liability.
