"...responsible citizenship is a virtue, and participation
in political life is a moral obligation."
Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, no. 13
“The Church calls for a different kind of political engagement:
one shaped by the moral convictions of well-formed consciences and focused on the dignity of every
human being, the pursuit of the common good, and the protection of the weak and vulnerable.”
(Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, November, 2007)
