Your Role as a Catholic Voter:

• Catholics have a moral obligation to promote the common good through the exercise of their voting privileges [cf. Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2240]
• "Service of the common good requires citizens to fulfill their roles in the life of the political community" [Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2239]
• "A well-formed Christian conscience does not permit one to vote for a political program or an individual law that contradicts the fundamental contents of faith and morals" [Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, Doctrinal Notes on Some Questions Regarding the Participation of Catholics in Political Life, 4]
