The Challenge of
Forming Consciences
for Faithful Citizenship
Part I of II: Our Call as Catholic Citizens
This brief document is Part I of a summary of the US bishops’ reflection, Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, which complements the
teaching of bishops in dioceses and states.
H
“If indeed ‘the just ordering of society and of the state is a central
responsibility of politics,’ the Church ‘cannot and must not remain on
the sidelines in the fight for justice.’ ”1 So writes Pope Francis, quoting
Pope Benedict XVI.
Our nation faces many political challenges that demand well-informed moral choices:
• The ongoing destruction of a million innocent human lives each
year by abortion
• Physician-assisted suicide
• The redefinition of marriage
• The excessive consumption of material goods and the destruction
of natural resources, harming the environment as well as the poor
• Deadly attacks on Christians and other religious minorities
throughout the world
• Efforts to narrow the definition and exercise of religious freedom
• Economic policies that fail to prioritize the needs of poor people,
at home and abroad
• A broken immigration system and a worldwide refugee crisis
• Wars, terror, and violence that threaten every aspect of human
life and dignity.2
As Catholics, we are part of a community with profound teachings
that help us consider challenges in public life, contribute to greater
justice and peace for all people, and evaluate policy positions, party
platforms, and candidates’ promises and actions in light of the Gospel
in order to help build a better world.
Why Does the Church Teach About
Issues Affecting Public Policy?
The Church’s obligation to participate in shaping the moral character
of society is a requirement of our faith, a part of the mission given
to us by Jesus Christ. As people of both faith and reason, Catholics
are called to bring truth to political life and to practice Christ’s commandment to “love one another” (Jn 13:34).
The US Constitution protects the right of individual believers
and religious bodies to proclaim and live out their faith without government interference, favoritism, or discrimination. Civil law should
recognize and protect the Church’s right and responsibility to participate in society without abandoning its moral convictions. Our nation’s
tradition of pluralism is enhanced, not threatened, when religious
groups and people of faith bring their convictions into public life. The
Catholic community brings to political dialogue a consistent moral
framework and broad experience serving those in need.
Who in the Church Should Participate in
Political Life?
In the Catholic tradition, responsible citizenship is a virtue, and
participation in political life is a moral obligation. As Catholics, we
should be guided more by our moral convictions than by our attachment to any political party or interest group. In today’s environment,
Catholics may feel politically disenfranchised, sensing that no party
and few candidates fully share our comprehensive commitment to
human life and dignity. This should not discourage us. On the contrary, it makes our obligation to act all the more urgent. Catholic lay
women and men need to act on the Church’s moral principles and
become more involved: running for office, working within political
parties, and communicating concerns to elected officials. Even those
who cannot vote should raise their voices on matters that affect their
lives and the common good. Faithful citizenship is an ongoing responsibility, not just an election year duty.
How Can Catholic Social Teaching Help
Guide Our Participation?
In the words of Pope Francis, “progress in building a people in peace,
justice and fraternity depends on four principles related to constant
tensions present in every social reality. These derive from the pillars
of the Church’s social doctrine, which serve as ‘primary and fundamental parameters of reference for interpreting and evaluating social
phenomena.’”3 The four principles include the dignity of the human
person, the common good, subsidiarity, and solidarity. Taken together,
these principles provide a moral framework for Catholic engagement
in advancing what we have called a “consistent ethic of life” (Living
the Gospel of Life, no. 22).
Rightly understood, this ethic does not treat all issues as morally
equivalent; nor does it reduce Catholic teaching to one or two issues.
It anchors the Catholic commitment to defend human life and other
human rights, from conception until natural death, in the fundamental obligation to respect the dignity of every human being as a child
of God.
Catholic voters should use Catholic teaching to examine candidates’ positions on issues and should consider candidates’ integrity,
philosophy, and performance. It is important for all citizens “to see
beyond party politics, to analyze campaign rhetoric critically, and to
choose their political leaders according to principle, not party affiliation or mere self-interest” (USCCB, Living the Gospel of Life, no.
33). The following summary of the four principles highlights several
themes of Catholic social teaching for special consideration: these
include human rights and responsibilities, respect for work and
the rights of workers, care for God’s creation, and the preferential
option for the poor and vulnerable.4
The Dignity of the Human Person
Human life is sacred because every person is created in the image and
likeness of God. There is a rich and multifaceted Catholic teaching
on human dignity summarized in the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church. Every human being “must always be understood in
his unrepeatable and inviolable uniqueness . . . This entails above all the
requirement not only of simple respect on the part of others, especially political and social institutions and their leaders with regard
to every man and woman on the earth, but even more, this means
that the primary commitment of each person towards others, and
particularly of these same institutions, must be for the promotion and
integral development of the person” (no. 131). The Compendium continues, “It is necessary to ‘consider every neighbor without exception
as another self, taking into account first of all his life and the means
necessary for living it with dignity’ (Gaudium et Spes, no. 27). Every
political, economic, social, scientific and cultural program must
be inspired by the awareness of the primacy of each human being
over society.”5
Subsidiarity
It is impossible to promote the dignity of the person without showing
concern for the family, groups, associations, and local realities—in
short, for those economic, social, cultural, recreational, professional,
and political communities to which people spontaneously give life
and which make it possible for them to achieve effective social
growth.6 The family, based on marriage between a man and a woman,
is the fundamental unit of society. This sanctuary for the creation
and nurturing of children must not be redefined, undermined, or
neglected. Supporting families should be a priority for economic and
social policies. How our society is organized—in economics and politics, in law and public policy—affects the well-being of individuals
and of society. Every person and association has a right and a duty to
participate in shaping society to promote the well-being of individuals
and the common good.
The principle of subsidiarity reminds us that larger institutions
in society should not overwhelm or interfere with smaller or local
institutions; yet larger institutions have essential responsibilities
when the more local institutions cannot adequately protect human
dignity, meet human needs, and advance the common good.7
The Common Good
The common good is comprised of “the sum total of social conditions
which allow people, either as groups or as individuals, to reach their
fulfilment more fully and more easily.”8
Human dignity is respected and the common good is fostered only
if human rights are protected and basic responsibilities are met.
Every human being has a right to life, a right to religious freedom, and
a right to have access to those things required for human decency—
food and shelter, education and employment, health care and housing. Corresponding to these rights are duties and responsibilities—to
ourselves, to our families, and to the larger society.
The economy must serve people, not the other way around. An
economic system must serve the dignity of the human person and
the common good by respecting the dignity of work and protecting
the rights of workers. Economic justice calls for decent work at fair,
living wages, a broad and fair legalization program with a path to citizenship for immigrant workers, and the opportunity for all people to
work together for the common good through their work, ownership,
enterprise, investment, participation in unions, and other forms of
economic activity. Workers also have responsibilities—to provide a
fair day’s work for a fair day’s pay, to treat employers and coworkers
with respect, and to carry out their work in ways that contribute to
the common good. Workers, employers, and unions should not only
advance their own interests but also work together to advance economic justice and the well-being of all.
We have a duty to care for God’s creation, which Pope Francis
refers to in Laudato Si’ as “our common home.”9 We all are called
to be careful stewards of God’s creation and to ensure a safe and
hospitable environment for vulnerable human beings now and in
the future. Pope Francis, consistent with St. John Paul II and Pope
Benedict XVI (World Day of Peace Message, 1990 and 2010), has
lifted up pollution, climate change, lack of access to clean water, and
the loss of biodiversity as particular challenges. Pope Francis speaks
of an “ecological debt” (no. 51) owed by wealthier nations to developing nations. And he calls all of us to an “ecological conversion”
(no. 219), by which “the effects of [our] encounter with Jesus Christ
become evident in [our] relationship with the world around [us]”.10
Indeed, this concern with “natural ecology” is an indispensable part of
the broader “human ecology,” which encompasses not only material
but moral and social dimensions as well.
Solidarity
Solidarity is “a firm and persevering determination to commit oneself
to . . . the good of all and of each individual, because we are all really
responsible for all.” It is found in “a commitment to the good of one’s
neighbor with the readiness, in the Gospel sense, to ‘lose oneself’ for
the sake of the other instead of exploiting him, and to ‘serve him’
instead of oppressing him for one’s own advantage.”11
We are one human family, whatever our national, racial, ethnic,
economic, and ideological differences. Our Catholic commitment
to solidarity requires that we pursue justice, eliminate racism, end
human trafficking, protect human rights, seek peace, and avoid the
use of force except as a necessary last resort.
In a special way, our solidarity must find expression in the preferential option for the poor and vulnerable. A moral test for society is
how we treat the weakest among us—the unborn, those dealing with
disabilities or terminal illness, the poor, and the marginalized.
Conclusion
In light of Catholic teaching, the bishops vigorously repeat their call
for a renewed politics that focuses on moral principles, the promotion
of human life and dignity, and the pursuit of the common good. Political participation in this spirit reflects not only the social teaching of
our Church but the best traditions of our nation.
