Our nation is entering the home stretch of a contentious election season. Bishop Johnston writes, “Our Diocese does not endorse candidates or political parties, however they strongly advocate and encourage voters to become duly informed about issues and candidates. The decisions of individual citizens should be grounded on sound moral principles consonant with the authentic teaching of the Catholic Church and factual information about the positions and principles of candidates.”

At the bottom of policy there is a helpful document from the Conference of Catholic Bishops called Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship that you can access. It is a helpful document to reflect on different issues from the perspective of our Catholic teaching.
