A weekly series to make an informed decision
As Catholics and Americans, we're blessed to participate in our nation’s political and public life.
It's our responsibility to study Catholic teaching and tradition, participate in the Church, learn from trustworthy sources, and do our best to make wise judgments on candidates and public policy.
On behalf of the Catholic bishops of Ohio, the Catholic Conference of Ohio advocates for laws and legislation in Ohio that align with a Catholic vision of a moral and just society.
The US bishops provide a foundation to better evaluate policies, platforms, and candidates in light of the Gospel and the Church’s moral and social teaching.
Pope Benedict XVI writes in Caritas in Veritate (Charity in Truth): “The more we strive to secure a common good corresponding to the real needs of our neighbors, the more effectively we love them.”
