Dr. Peter Murphy writes about Faithful Citizenship and synodality

Dr. Peter Murphy wrote that Catholics should prioritize faithfulness to Jesus Christ and his teachings when participating in elections. Writing for On Mission, Murphy stated that voters should seek candidates whose policies and laws uphold the common good and respect the dignity of all people.

Murphy noted that voters should use the Bible and the Catechism of the Catholic Church to help form their consciences. He described conscience formation as a lifelong process involving the study of scripture, Church teachings, and spiritual classics. He advised that voters should study candidates to see how their policies align with the teachings of Christ before casting ballots on Tuesday, November 3.
