Dear Friends,
On November 3, 2020 general elections will take place with various local, state, and federal offices on the ballot. Certainly, there is an increased focus on faithful citizenship given that this year features a presidential election.
In order to assist Catholics as they prepare to vote with formed consciences, the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference has produced a Presidential Candidate Comparison document and a State Legislative Voters Guide. These documents seek to educate the faithful about candidates and their positions on issues of importance to Catholic voters. Click HERE to access the comparison document in English and click HERE to access the document in Spanish.
In addition, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is once again offering to the Catholic faithful Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship. This teaching document on the political responsibility of Catholics is available in English and Spanish.
Finally, click HERE for a Voter Guide that includes a cross-section of seven bills spanning seven categories to show how incumbent legislators have voted.
Please bear in mind that neither the PCC, nor the USCCB, nor the Archdiocese of Philadelphia endorse or oppose any candidate for political office. The materials you are receiving today are the only ones currently sanctioned for distribution within the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Thank you.
