With Kentucky’s gubernatorial election campaign in high gear, the state’s Roman Catholic bishops have reminded churches and Catholic organizations of the prohibition against involvement in partisan political activity.

The bishops’ 2006 policies and their recent letter mention specific types of political activity to be avoided by churches. They range from publication of certain voting guides to links on church Web sites to political Web sites.
Only voting guide material published by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops or the Catholic Conference of Kentucky “may be distributed in parishes,” the policies say. “Other materials, even if they are published by a Catholic organization and seem nonpartisan, shall not be distributed.”
Is this it for the good and useful guides like Catholic Answers
Voters Guide for Serious Catholics? Apparently clear and concise materials for education of the faithful are taboo. Why some wish to promote and distribute the USCCB guide is beyond me. Looks like it's up to faithful in Kentucky to educate themselves.
