Forming Your Conscience for Voting

Participation in the public square has never been easier, but it could be argued that making informed voting decisions has become more difficult than ever, especially for Catholics. Neither of the major political parties have platforms that align perfectly with Catholic moral teaching, and the rancorous atmosphere on social media and in the news can make deciding how to vote an emotional and confusing experience. The USCCB has a helpful document, called Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, to help Catholics sort through the important issues and make the best decision possible.
