OBLIGATION TO VOTE

Catholic voters have several obligations rooted in our faith and social teachings, which guide our participation in the political process. Here are some key points:

• Informed Conscience: Catholics are called to form our consciences in accordance with Church teachings. This involves understanding issues from a moral perspective and making decisions that reflect those values.
• Participation: The Church encourages active participation in the political process, including voting, as a means of contributing to the common good and promoting justice.
• Social Teachings: Voters should consider Catholic social teachings, which emphasizes the dignity of human life, the rights of workers, care for the poor, and the importance of family.
• Moral Responsibility: Voters have a duty to support candidates and policies that align with the Church's teachings on key issues, particularly those affecting the most vulnerable.
• Advocacy: Beyond voting, Catholics are encouraged to engage in advocacy, promoting policies that reflect our values and speaking out on moral issues.
• Prayer and Reflection: Catholics are encouraged to pray for guidance and reflect on how their faith informs their political decisions.

By engaging with these obligations, Catholic voters aim to contribute positively to society while remaining true to our faith.
