With this handy guide, Catholic voters will come to understand their role in this, and every, election and will know how to form and use a Gospel-based conscience to discern major decisions. Drawing on the trusted and popular "Catholic Update" newsletter, the "Catholic Update Guide to Faithful Citizenship" helps committed Catholic voters participate fully in the political process by addressing some of the issues Catholics should consider before casting their votes--issues such as euthanasia, abortion, stem-cell research, social justice, immigration, capital punishment, same-sex marriage, ecological concerns, and health care.
