Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship

As Catholics and as citizens we recall the following:

– Responsible citizenship is a virtue and one way we live our lives as Catholics.
– The Church does not tell us whom to vote for or what political party to join.
– The role of the Church is to help Catholics form their consciences in accord with God’s truth.
– “Conscience is a judgment of practical reason that helps us to recognize and seek what is good and reject what is evil.” (CCC 1778, 1796)
– Forming our consciences is an ongoing process. Press here for full document
