“We are also blessed with religious liberty which safeguards our right to bring our principles and moral convictions to the public arena. These Constitutional freedoms need to be both exercised and protected, as some seek to mute the voices or limit the freedoms of religious believers and religious institutions. Catholics have the same rights and duties as others to participate in public life.” Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship,

Introduction

“In the Catholic Tradition, responsible citizenship is a virtue, and participation in the political process is a moral obligation. This obligation is rooted in our baptismal commitment…”

Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, no. 13

Our Baptismal Call

Page 7: Living Our Faith, Loving Our Neighbor in an Election Year (and Beyond) [Insert Name] [Insert Title], Department of [Insert Dept Name} [Insert Date]

Rooted in Scripture

“Woe to you who enact unjust statutes…” (Is. 10:1) “He has sent me to

bring Good News to the poor…” (Lk. 4:18)

“Whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me” (Mt. 25:40).

“Choose life...” (Dt. 30:19)

Faithful Citizenship

Affirms role in political life

Provides a moral framework

Not a voter guide, scorecard, etc.

“The Church wishes to help form consciences in political life and to stimulate greater insight into the authentic requirements of justice as well as greater readiness to act accordingly.”

Pope Benedict XVI, Deus Caritas Est, no. 28

2012 Introductory Note

“We urge our Catholic pastors and people to continue to use this important statement to help them form their consciences, to contribute to civil and respectful public dialogue, and to shape their choices in the coming election in the light of Catholic teaching.”

Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship

Page 11: Living Our Faith, Loving Our Neighbor in an Election Year (and Beyond) [Insert Name] [Insert Title], Department of [Insert Dept Name} [Insert Date]

“Destruction of unborn children through

abortion” and other threats to life

“Wars, terror, and violence” and their “human and moral

costs”

“Efforts to force Catholic ministries to

violate their consciences”

Efforts to “redefine” and “undermine”

marriage

“An economic crisis which has devastated lives”; need for response that protects

the poor

A Call to Form Conscience

Page 20: Living Our Faith, Loving Our Neighbor in an Election Year (and Beyond) [Insert Name] [Insert Title], Department of [Insert Dept Name} [Insert Date]

A Call to Exercise Prudence

Page 21: Living Our Faith, Loving Our Neighbor in an Election Year (and Beyond) [Insert Name] [Insert Title], Department of [Insert Dept Name} [Insert Date]

Two Temptations

1. “Moral equivalence that makes no ethical distinctions between different kinds of issues involving human life and dignity. The direct and intentional destruction of innocent human life from the moment of conception until natural death is always wrong and is not just one issue among many. It must always be opposed” (no. 28).

Page 22: Living Our Faith, Loving Our Neighbor in an Election Year (and Beyond) [Insert Name] [Insert Title], Department of [Insert Dept Name} [Insert Date]

Two Temptations

2. “The misuse of these necessary moral distinctions as a way of dismissing or ignoring other serious threats to human life and dignity. Racism and other unjust discrimination, the use of the death penalty, resorting to unjust war, the use of torture, war crimes, the failure to respond to those who are suffering from hunger or a lack of health care, or an unjust immigration policy are all serious moral issues that challenge our consciences and require us to act” (no. 29).

Page 23: Living Our Faith, Loving Our Neighbor in an Election Year (and Beyond) [Insert Name] [Insert Title], Department of [Insert Dept Name} [Insert Date]

Two Duties

“There are some things we must never do, as individuals or as a society, because they are always incompatible with love of God and neighbor… They must always be rejected and opposed and must never be supported or condoned” (no. 22).

Examples: abortion, euthanasia, human cloning, embryonic stem cell research, genocide, torture, racism, targeting of noncombatants in war

Page 24: Living Our Faith, Loving Our Neighbor in an Election Year (and Beyond) [Insert Name] [Insert Title], Department of [Insert Dept Name} [Insert Date]

Two Duties“Opposition to intrinsically evil acts… should open our eyes to the good we must do, that is, our positive duty to contribute to the common good and to act in solidarity with those in need” (no. 24).

Example: Ensuring that basic needs are fulfilled and that food, shelter, health care, education, and meaningful work are available for all.

Page 25: Living Our Faith, Loving Our Neighbor in an Election Year (and Beyond) [Insert Name] [Insert Title], Department of [Insert Dept Name} [Insert Date]

“Both opposing evil and doing good are essential” (no. 24).

“In this coming election and beyond, we urge leaders and all Catholics to share the message of faithful citizenship and to use this document in forming their own consciences, so we can act together to promote and protect human life and dignity, marriage and family, justice and peace in service to the common good. This kind of political responsibility is a requirement of our faith and our duty as citizens.”
