He doesn’t mince words. It has been somewhat edited for brevity. As Election Day in our country approaches, people have been asking me to provide some guidance as they consider the candidates and ponder their votes. While I can’t endorse any candidates, I can provide some education and information to help inform one’s choices. The U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a comprehensive voter education guide entitled, “Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship: A Call to Political Responsibility from the Catholic Bishops of the United States.” Adopted in 2007, it has been updated. In the new introductory letter of the U.S. Catholic bishops at their Meeting last November, there is this key statement: “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.” The full text of Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, including the new introductory letter, is available online at usccb.org. The emphasis on abortion as our “preeminent priority” is timely, not only as we approach the 2020 election, but also because October is designated by the U.S. Catholic Bishops as Respect Life Month. This year’s Respect Life theme is, “ Live the Gospel of Life.” This reference recalls the prophetic papal encyclical “ Evangelium Vitae” (The Gospel of Life), by Pope St. John Paul in 1995, to reaffirm the value and inviolability of every human life and appeal to all people to respect, protect, love, and serve every human life. With specific reference to abortion laws and voting, St. John Paul wrote, “In the case of an intrinsically unjust law, such as a law permitting abortion or euthanasia, it is therefore never licit to obey it, or to take part in a propaganda campaign in favor of such a law, or vote for it.” Pope Francis has called abortion a “very grave sin” and a “horrendous crime.” He indicated that he agreed with the U.S.
