Making Moral Choices Part II of II Selections from the USCCBrsquos Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship There may be times when a Catholic who rejects a candidates unacceptable position even on policies promoting an intrinsically evil act may reasonably decide to vote for that candidate for other morally grave reasons Voting in this way would be permissible only for truly grave moral reasons not to advance narrow interests or partisan preferences or to ignore a fundamental moral evil When all candidates hold a position that promotes an intrinsically evil act the conscientious voter faces a dilemma The voter may decide to take the extraordinary step of not voting for any candidate or after careful deliberation may decide to vote for the candidate deemed less likely to advance such a morally flawed position and more likely to pursue other authentic human goods In making these decisions it is essential for Catholics to be guided by a well-formed conscience that recognizes that all issues do not carry the same moral weight and that the moral obligation to oppose policies promoting intrinsically evil acts has a special claim on our consciences and our actions These decisions should take into account a candidates commitments character integrity and ability to influence a given issue In the end this is a decision to be made by each Catholic guided by a conscience formed by Catholic moral teaching It is important to be clear that the political choices faced by citizens not only have an impact on general peace and prosperity but also may affect the individuals salvation Similarly the kinds of laws and policies supported by public officials affect their spiritual well-being Pope Benedict XVI in a reflection on the Eucharist as the sacrament of charity challenged all of us to adopt what he calls a Eucharistic form of life This means that the redeeming love we encounter in the Eucharist should shape our thoughts our words and our decisions including those that pertain to the social order This calls for a heroic commitment on the part of Catholics who are politicians and other leaders in society Having been entrusted with special responsibility for the common good Catholic leaders must commit themselves to the pursuit of the virtues especially courage justice temperance and prudence The culmination of these virtues is the strong public promotion of the dignity of every human person as made in the image of God in accord with the teachings of the Church even when it conflicts with current public opinion Catholic politicians and legislators must recognize their grave responsibility in society to support laws shaped by these fundamental human values and oppose laws and policies that violate life and dignity at any stage from conception to natural death This is not to bring a Catholic interest to the political sphere it is to insist that the truth of the dignity of the human person as discovered by reason and confirmed by revelation be at the forefront of all political considerations

Making Moral Choices Part II of II Selections from the USCCBrsquos Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship There may be times when a Catholic who rejects a candidates unacceptable position even on policies promoting an intrinsically evil act may reasonably decide to vote for that candidate for other morally grave reasons Voting in this way would be permissible only for truly grave moral reasons not to advance narrow interests or partisan preferences or to ignore a fundamental moral evil When all candidates hold a position that promotes an intrinsically evil act the conscientious voter faces a dilemma The voter may decide to take the extraordinary step of not voting for any candidate or after careful deliberation may decide to vote for the candidate deemed less likely to advance such a morally flawed position and more likely to pursue other authentic human goods In making these decisions it is essential for Catholics to be guided by a well-formed conscience that recognizes that all issues do not carry the same moral weight and that the moral obligation to oppose policies promoting intrinsically evil acts has a special claim on our consciences and our actions These decisions should take into account a candidates commitments character integrity and ability to influence a given issue In the end this is a decision to be made by each Catholic guided by a conscience formed by Catholic moral teaching It is important to be clear that the political choices faced by citizens not only have an impact on general peace and prosperity but also may affect the individuals salvation Similarly the kinds of laws and policies supported by public officials affect their spiritual well-being Pope Benedict XVI in a reflection on the Eucharist as the sacrament of charity challenged all of us to adopt what he calls a Eucharistic form of life This means that the redeeming love we encounter in the Eucharist should shape our thoughts our words and our decisions including those that pertain to the social order This calls for a heroic commitment on the part of Catholics who are politicians and other leaders in society Having been entrusted with special responsibility for the common good Catholic leaders must commit themselves to the pursuit of the virtues especially courage justice temperance and prudence The culmination of these virtues is the strong public promotion of the dignity of every human person as made in the image of God in accord with the teachings of the Church even when it conflicts with current public opinion Catholic politicians and legislators must recognize their grave responsibility in society to support laws shaped by these fundamental human values and oppose laws and policies that violate life and dignity at any stage from conception to natural death This is not to bring a Catholic interest to the political sphere it is to insist that the truth of the dignity of the human person as discovered by reason and confirmed by revelation be at the forefront of all political considerations

Making Moral Choices Part II of II Selections from the USCCBrsquos Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship There may be times when a Catholic who rejects a candidates unacceptable position even on policies promoting an intrinsically evil act may reasonably decide to vote for that candidate for other morally grave reasons Voting in this way would be permissible only for truly grave moral reasons not to advance narrow interests or partisan preferences or to ignore a fundamental moral evil When all candidates hold a position that promotes an intrinsically evil act the conscientious voter faces a dilemma The voter may decide to take the extraordinary step of not voting for any candidate or after careful deliberation may decide to vote for the candidate deemed less likely to advance such a morally flawed position and more likely to pursue other authentic human goods In making these decisions it is essential for Catholics to be guided by a well-formed conscience that recognizes that all issues do not carry the same moral weight and that the moral obligation to oppose policies promoting intrinsically evil acts has a special claim on our consciences and our actions These decisions should take into account a candidates commitments character integrity and ability to influence a given issue In the end this is a decision to be made by each Catholic guided by a conscience formed by Catholic moral teaching It is important to be clear that the political choices faced by citizens not only have an impact on general peace and prosperity but also may affect the individuals salvation Similarly the kinds of laws and policies supported by public officials affect their spiritual well-being Pope Benedict XVI in a reflection on the Eucharist as the sacrament of charity challenged all of us to adopt what he calls a Eucharistic form of life This means that the redeeming love we encounter in the Eucharist should shape our thoughts our words and our decisions including those that pertain to the social order This calls for a heroic commitment on the part of Catholics who are politicians and other leaders in society Having been entrusted with special responsibility for the common good Catholic leaders must commit themselves to the pursuit of the virtues especially courage justice temperance and prudence The culmination of these virtues is the strong public promotion of the dignity of every human person as made in the image of God in accord with the teachings of the Church even when it conflicts with current public opinion Catholic politicians and legislators must recognize their grave responsibility in society to support laws shaped by these fundamental human values and oppose laws and policies that violate life and dignity at any stage from conception to natural death This is not to bring a Catholic interest to the political sphere it is to insist that the truth of the dignity of the human person as discovered by reason and confirmed by revelation be at the forefront of all political considerations
