Voting is not only a civic duty but a profound moral responsibility deeply rooted in the teachings of the Catholic Church. The Catechism of the Catholic Church emphasizes that participation in political life is a moral obligation: “Submission to authority and co-responsibility for the common good make it morally obligatory to pay taxes, to exercise the right to vote, and to defend one’s country” (CCC, 2240). This teaching highlights that our engagement in the political process is essential to promoting the common good and upholding justice and peace within our communities. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) reinforces this imperative, stating, “In the Catholic tradition, responsible citizenship is a virtue, and participation in political life is a moral obligation” (USCCB, Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship). The USCCB further elaborates that every citizen, guided by a well-formed conscience, must play an active role in shaping a society that respects the dignity of every human person and promotes the welfare of all. As Catholics, our vote is a powerful tool for expressing our commitment to the teachings of Christ and the Church. It allows us to influence public policies and leaders to align with principles of justice, the protection of human life, the promotion of family and community, and care for the most vulnerable. The Church calls us to look beyond our individual interests and consider the broader impact of our choices on society. By voting, we contribute to building a just society that reflects our shared values and moral convictions. In doing so, we respond to the call of faithful citizenship, fulfilling our responsibility to act as stewards of God’s creation and advocates for the common good.
