iVoteCatholic:
We are called to live our faith in all aspects of our lives. How to live our faith in voting? This question requires much prayer and discernment from each of us. We acknowledge the difficulty of this question and the perceived alignment or misalignment of the candidates and issues with our Catholic faith.
Our Church teaches a consistent ethic of life so we are called to be advocates for a variety of issues related to life and human dignity. Some have misinterpreted this teaching to convey that each related issue is morally equivalent. This is not the case. Some have misinterpreted this teaching to convey that one related issue could excuse indifference to the rest: this is not the case either.
We have challenging work ahead of us! Some helps for our prayer and discernment are focused on the Seven Principles of Catholic Social Teaching. As we count down to Election Day in November, each week here and in the Gesu Sunday Bulletin we will share a little
with you. Go to www.iVoteCatholic.org for more helps and information.
We will not be telling you for whom or what to vote. We will be encouraging careful discernment, intentional prayer, and a universal
call to holiness and compassion to inform your voting.
Care for God’s Creation
During this seventh week, we focus on Care for God’s Creation. Beginning with Pope St. John Paul II through Pope Francis, care for creation has been an integral part of Catholic social teaching. “Everything is connected. Concern for the environment thus needs to be joined to a sincere love of our fellow human beings and an unwavering commitment to resolving the problems of society….We human beings are united as brothers and sisters on a wonderful pilgrimage woven together by the love God has for each of his creatures.” (#92,93 Pope Francis) When we do things to protect the earth and care for it, we show reverence for God, the creator of all. Under this principle fall issues such as laws governing corporate and individual use of environmental resources - including land, water, and air - which impact all living things.
