Resources for Developing Faithful Citizens

These times and this election will test us as American Catholics. A renewed commitment to faithful citizenship can help heal the wounds of our nation, world, and Church. What we have endured has changed many things, but it has not changed the fundamental mission and message of Catholics in public life. . . . (We must address some) fundamental moral choices. How do we protect human life and dignity? How do we fairly share the blessings and burdens of the challenges we face? What kind of nation do we want to be? What kind of world do we want to shape?

Faithful Citizenship: A Catholic Call to Political Responsibility
2003 USCCB

 

It is the Catholic Church’s teaching that every Catholic is called to active and faith-filled citizenship, based upon a properly informed conscience, so that each disciple of Christ publicly witnesses to the Church’s commitment to human life and dignity with special preference for the poor and the vulnerable. These pages are designed to educate youth ministry leaders so that they may help form our young Catholics as faithful citizens and witnesses for the Gospel.
