October 23, 2014
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
We are members of a community of faith with a long tradition of teaching and action on human life, marriage and family,
justice and peace, care for creation, and the common good. As citizens of the United States, we have a duty to participate in
framing the discussion of public issues and the selection of those who occupy positions of leadership. We are blessed with
religious liberty which safeguards our right to bring our principles and moral convictions into the public square. These
Constitutional freedoms need to be both exercised and protected, as some seek to silence the voices or limit the freedoms of
religious believers and religious institutions.
With the 2014 general election in the next week, I ask that you consider the issue of faithful citizenship and voting with a
conscience. Participation in elections requires careful discernment in light of our moral principles and faith. As faithful
citizens, our decisions in the voting booth should respect the interests of all, particularly those members of our society who
are weak and marginalized. When we register to vote, we willingly accept the task of educating ourselves on the issues and
candidates and voting with a properly formed conscience. Conscience is more than a voice within calling us to follow what
is considered acceptable behavior for the day. It provides a constant moral foundation that guides our thoughts and actions
from the very simple to the most complex. We have a duty to fully form our conscience and increase its sensitivity to how
the issues before us address and serve the common good.
In this coming election and beyond, I urge all faithful Catholics to rise to the occasion and participate in the political process.
This kind of political responsibility is a requirement of our faith and our duty as citizens.
In the Lord's Peace,
Office of the Bishop
