Archbishop Donghue: On Conscientious Voting

The Most Reverend John F. Donoghue, Archbishop of Atlanta, has issued a letter to the faithful of the diocese regarding how to vote as a Catholic with an informed conscience:

I can teach you, on behalf of the Church, the manner in which you must decide for whom to vote, and I hope that in this letter I have given you clear and helpful instruction.

"Conscience must be informed and moral judgment enlightened. In the formation of conscience the Word of God is the light for our path, we must assimilate it in faith and prayer and put it into practice. We must also examine our conscience before the Lord's Cross. We are assisted by the gifts of the Holy Spirit, aided by the witness or advice of others and guided by the authoritative teaching of the Church." (CCC #1783-1785)
