  • Guidelines for Catholics to Participate in Public Life

    • "We need to participate for the common good. Sometimes we hear: a good Catholic is not interested in politics. This is not true: good Catholics immerse themselves in politics by offering the best of themselves so that the leader can govern."

      Pope Francis, 9/16/13

  • How Should I Vote?

    • "Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship" is a document from the U.S. bishops, updated with an introduction at their Fall 2019 meeting, that offers guidelines for Catholics to form their consciences and participate in public life. We are all called to bring our faith to the public square.

      Read the Bishops' letter below in English or Spanish.
