Catholic Update Guide to Faithful Citizenship

by Mary C. Kendzia (Editor)

With this handy guide, Catholic voters will come to understand their role in this, and every, election and will know how to form and use a Gospel-based conscience to discern major decisions. Drawing on the trusted and popular Catholic Update newsletter, the Catholic Update Guide to Faithful Citizenship helps committed Catholic voters participate fully in the political process by addressing some of the issues Catholics should consider before casting their votes—issues such as euthanasia, abortion, stem-cell research, social justice, immigration, capital punishment, same-sex marriage, ecological concerns, and health care.

A helpful companion to Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, but I'd still recommend going back to the source material referenced by the footnotes throughout the bishops' document.

[Paul · Rating 4 out of 5]

Illuminates much of the Catholic Church's stances toward a variety of issues in America. It also shows how the Church is neither Democrat nor Republican and that the Church does not tell Americans how they should vote.
