Faithful Citizenship is the mindful consideration of public policy and voting issues through the lens of the Church's teaching.
It is also a call to action to become involved with legislative policy and to exercise the right to vote, so as to protect human life, uphold human dignity, and promote the
common good.
The Wisconsin Catholic Conference has prepared resources to help Catholics reflect on what it means to be a faithful citizen, based on the USCCB's document, Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship: A Call to Political Responsibility from the Catholic Bishops of the United States.
See the links below for more information on Faithful Citizenship and how to approach the voting booth as a Catholic!
