Download or read book Trying to Vote in Good Conscience written by Elizabeth F. Brown and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In November 2007, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued quot;Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship - A Call to Political Responsibility from the Catholic Bishops of the United States.quot; This statement by the American Catholic Bishops provides guidance to Catholic voters on how to execute their responsibilities in accord with Catholic social teaching.Despite some flaws, quot;Forming Consciencesquot; has three major virtues that will aid American Catholics as they try to vote in good conscience. First, it reaffirms the need for American Catholics become more familiar with and to apply the broad range of Catholic social teachings when voting and exercising their other civic duties. Second, it explicitly rejects the notion that Catholics should be single issue voters. Third, Forming Consciences encourages, but certainly does not require, American Catholics to adopt a holistic ethical approach when evaluating candidates and issues. Such a holistic approach tends to provide better solutions, certainly on economic and environmental issues, than the narrow definition of issues and problems currently used in politics.This essay comments on how useful the document is in actually helping the average American Catholic, who is not already an expert in Catholic social teachings, discern how to vote. As part of this assessment, it focuses on how much weight Catholics should give to economic and environmental issues based upon the guidance provided by the Bishops' statement. These issues were chosen because they are growing areas of concern both for Americans and for the Vatican.This essay was written for the Journal of Catholic Legal Studies Symposium issue on quot;Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship - A Call to Political Responsibility from the Catholic Bishops of the United States.quot.

Book excerpt: Can voting for the wrong candidate actually be a mortal sin? Yes. It's difficult for priests to say it in Sunday homilies because a few parishioners berate them for doing so, but the Catholic Church clearly teaches that voting for the wrong political candidate can endanger your eternal salvation.So who is the "right" candidate? According to Church authorities, in today's culture it is the candidate who most adheres to the Catholic Church's teaching on abortion.In this booklet, popes, cardinals, bishops and priests convey the authentic and indisputable teaching of the Catholic Church on how every Catholic must vote in order to avoid mortal sin. You'll find answers to such questions as:* If I don't vote for the right candidate, am I enabling the destruction of human life?* If I don't vote for the right candidate, should I go to confession?* If I don't vote for the right candidate, should I refrain from Holy Communion?* Do any exceptions exist, because of "proportionate reasons"?* What about social justice issues? Aren't they just as important as abortion?
