About this episode

Shocking new data shows a majority of practicing Christians, including pastors, admit to viewing pornography. Beyond that, a large share say they are comfortable with the habit. These findings come from a new report from Barna titled "Beyond the Porn Phenomenon."

"Even though practicing Christians were still found to view pornography less frequently than non-Christians, the gap between the two groups was only 14 percentage points," Christian Post reporter Leonardo Blair writes. "Some 54% of Christians reported viewing pornography compared with 68% of non-Christians."

Blair joins "The Inside Story" to explain the full results. Read more here.
