Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life

As the United States approaches the presidential election in November, what are the responsibilities of faithful citizens and voters, especially young adults? Does our faith compel us to vote for a particular candidate? What does it mean to have a “well-formed conscience”? What issues, policies, values, and principles should guide our engagement in political life? Held less than two weeks before the U.S. presidential election, this dialogue with three leaders will explore our responsibilities as voters with values in the face of a deeply polarized political landscape that faces threats to U.S. democratic norms and institutions.
