Faithful Citizenship

Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship is the teaching document of the U.S. Catholic bishops on the political responsibility of Catholics. The statement helps Catholics to form their consciences, to learn about Catholic social teaching on important issues, to contribute to civil and respectful public dialogue, and to shape political choices in light of Catholic teaching.
