Faithful Citizenship
“Responsible Citizenship is a virtue, and participation in political life is a moral obligation."
Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship:
A Call to Political Responsibility from the Catholic Bishops of the United States
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has released it’s statement on Faithful Citizenship. They state, “We bishops seek to help Catholics form their consciences in accordance with the truth, so they can make sound moral choices in addressing these challenges. We do not tell Catholics how to vote. The responsibility to make political choices rests with each person and his or her properly formed conscience.”
