Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship: A Call to Political Responsibility
from the Catholic Bishops of the United States provides a framework for Catholics in the United States. "Responsible citizenship is a virtue, and participation in political life is a moral obligation," say our bishops. “The Church’s obligation to participate in shaping the moral character of society is a requirement of our faith, a part of the mission given to us by Jesus Christ. Faith helps us see more clearly the truth about human life and dignity that we also understand through human reason.” To learn more, visit the USCCB website: http://www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/faithful-citizenship/

Is this not, rather, the fast that I choose: releasing those bound unjustly, untying the thongs of the yoke; setting free the oppressed, breaking off every yoke? Is it not sharing your bread with the hungry, bringing the afflicted and the homeless into your house; clothing the naked when you see them, and not turning your back on your own flesh? Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your wound shall quickly be healed; your vindication shall go before you, and the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard. – Isaiah 58:6-8
