Catholic in the Voting Booth: Know Your Faith, Vote Your Faith! Updated Nov 1 2012. This is a short and briefly annotated list of some voting guides I find useful. It’s not exhaustive but it’s a start. The best guide is to learn your faith. Seek the truth, find the truth, embrace that truth and hold onto it. Follow your conscience AFTER you FORM your conscience by the light of Christ’s teachings as guarded and protected and handed on by His Church for two thousand years. Be faithful. In the public square, at home, at work. Everywhere. (A post about voting and Catholic conscience: Catholic Every Moment and While I’m Voting Too!)
