Bishop Adimir Antonio Mazali guides conscious participation in elections

Bishop Adimir Antonio Mazali of the Diocese of Erexim is encouraging voters to participate in elections with freedom, information, and a focus on the common good. He stated that the Church remains nonpartisan and does not endorse specific candidates or political parties.

The bishop explained that the Church's role involves helping people form their civic consciences and encouraging them to follow the electoral process and study political proposals. He noted that citizenship requires more than just casting a vote.

Mazali also addressed the social impact of political polarization, noting that it often harms how people interact. He urged people to maintain respect for different political views to prevent disagreements from breaking family, community, or friendship ties. He emphasized that democratic participation requires recognizing that others have the right to make different choices.
