FORMING CONSCIENCES FOR FAITHFUL CITIZENSHIP "We need to participate for the common good. Sometimes we hear: a good Catholic is not interested in politics. This is not true: good Catholics immerse themselves in politics by offering the best of themselves so that the leader can govern."
-Pope Francis, Morning Meditation
The Catholic bishops of the United States offer to the Catholic faithful “Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship,” their teaching document on the political responsibility of Catholics. This statement represents guidance for Catholics in the exercise of their rights and duties as participants in our democracy. The statement lifts up our dual heritage as both faithful Catholics and American citizens with rights and duties as participants in the civil order. For more information, see the video and documents found here: https://www.usccb.org/offices/justice-peace-human-development/forming-consciences-faithful-citizenship
