PARISH GIVING

Fr. Vince Huber, AVI grew up in Leawood, KS, and entered the

priesthood after graduating from the University of Kansas with a

degree in Civil Engineering in 2004. He studied philosophy and

theology at St. John Lateran University in

Rome and completed his licentiate in

theology at the John Paul II Institute for

Marriage and Family. He was ordained a

priest on June 18, 2011. His main ministry

is spiritual direction. He works on forming

spiritual mentors through the Catholic

Spiritual Mentorship Program. He is also

the chaplain for the Catholic Medical

Association guild in Kansas City and the

chaplain for the School of Love.

VOTING IS A MORAL RESPONSIBILITY Dear Friends,

In a democratic society, an essential part of Christian discipleship is to exercise our right to participate in choosing

those who represent us in government. We have a responsibility to be engaged citizens who work actively for the

common good. For the Catholic, voting is not just a good thing to do, but a moral responsibility. Many people have

made heroic sacrifices to give us the freedoms we enjoy. We have a duty as Americans, Kansans and Catholics to

take advantage of our right to vote.

Moreover, we are called not simply to vote, but to be well informed voters who in casting our ballots apply the

moral principles and priorities of our Faith. Since the beginning of our nation, the Catholic Bishops have chosen not

to endorse political candidates or parties. The Catholic Church does not tell its members how to vote. At the same

time, it is the responsibility of the Church to help form the consciences of her members to understand the principles

and priorities that should guide their decisions as voters.

There are many important moral issues facing our society. For the sake of brevity, I wish to reflect upon three that

are particularly timely. Racism is an intrinsic moral evil that results in grave injustice to its victims, but also is an

offense against God who has created every human being in the divine image. We must choose leaders who not only

oppose racism but are committed to healing its festering wounds.

Peaceful protests are constitutional rights that need to be respected and protected. However, violent riots resulting

in the deaths of innocent victims and the destruction of public monuments and private property are also grave evils.

Our leaders have a responsibility to protect citizens and preserve civil order.

This past November, the Catholic Bishops of the United States again identified the protection of unborn children as

the pre-eminent moral priority because: 1) abortion attacks the most vulnerable and innocent, 2) abortion occurs

within the family destroying the most precious human bonds thus harming parents, and 3) the sheer number of

human lives destroyed, nearly 1 million annually, adds to abortion’s societal importance.

Tragically, the Kansas Supreme Court has claimed to have discovered a right to abortion in our State Constitution.

To correct this grave injustice imposed by the Court, the Value Them Both Constitutional Amendment needs to be

adopted by the citizens of Kansas. We need elected officials who will take action to defend the innocent life of the

unborn and their mothers.

The Value Them Both Constitutional Amendment, while not prohibiting abortion, returns to our State Legislature

the ability to enact laws that place restrictions on the abortion industry, protecting both mother and child. Passage of

the Value Them Both Amendment requires affirmative votes by 2/3 of both the Kansas Senate and House of

Representatives.

On August 4, primary elections will be held in Kansas. The first step to exercise your right to vote is being

registered. The Kansas Catholic Conference has organized a voter registration drive. You can access an on-line voter

registration form at kansascatholic.org. To vote in the August primary you must be registered by July 14. In this

COVID19 environment, you may wish to take advantage of the opportunity to vote by mail.

Become knowledgeable about candidate positions and voting records on issues with important moral implications.

Let your voice be heard. Vote in the upcoming August Primary and in the November General elections. Thank you

and God bless.

-ARCHBISHOP NAUMANN
