"We need to participate for the common good. Sometimes we hear: a good Catholic is not interested in politics. This is not true: good Catholics immerse themselves in politics by offering the best of themselves so that the leader can govern." - Pope Francis, 9/16/13

Voting is a moral responsibility. Do your research and find out where candidates stand on issues. The Catholic Bishops of the United States have stated:

"The threat of abortion remains our preeminent priority because it directly attacks life itself, because it takes place within the sanctuary of the family, and because of the number of lives destroyed. At the same time, we cannot dismiss or ignore other serious threats to human life and dignity such as racism, the environmental crisis, poverty and the death penalty.

Our efforts to protect the unborn remain as important as ever, for just as the Supreme Court may allow greater latitude for state laws restricting abortion, state legislators have passed statutes not only keeping abortion legal through all nine months of pregnancy but opening the door to infanticide. "

At Human Life Action, we strive each day to give a voice to millions of American Catholics who care about the inherent dignity of every person.

Information on the recent decision of the Supreme Court: It defined the legal understanding of people’s “sex” across the country, to include their action or their asserted transgender status. Rather their being male or female. This was most likely an attempt to honor people’s rights, but sadly misguided. Everyone has dignity and rights given by almighty God that we must honor. We should reach out with special compassion for the marginalized and the hurting. All are welcomed here, whoever you are or whatever background. Jesus died for all and it is both the Church’s duty and the Church’s joy to help all to know and follow him. The recent Supreme Court decision can further erode how people understand the truth that we are all made male and female and in relation to one another. It undermines the truth about marriage and attacks the basis of family life.

This is a warning from Bishop Joe about some phishing scams going around.
