U.S. Catholic Bishops Release “Faithful Citizenship” Guide
This week, Bishop Anthony Taylor of the Catholic Diocese of Little Rock cited the “Faithful Citizenship” document released by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in a homily posted on The Arkansas Catholic‘s website.
In his homily, Bishop Taylor said,
“To help us sort out what to do, the bishops of the United States issue — or re-issue — for every election cycle a ‘Faithful Citizenship’ document to help us make a prudential judgment regarding how best to ‘Give to God what is God’s’ in the difficult and confusing choices before us. This is not just a matter of opposing evil; it also requires that we work actively to do good.”
The Conference of Catholic Bishops offers the document in two forms: A short summary and a lengthier Call to Political Responsibility.
