Forming faithful citizens

Mobilizing for prophetic action

All Catholics are baptized as priest, prophet and king. It is this baptismal call to act prophetically that drives us to work for justice in our world.

Take action now

We have a moral obligation to participate in political life.

The U.S. Bishops teach that participation in the political process is not only a civil right, but also a moral obligation of our faith. This participation requires understanding the political
system, its moral and ethical impact as well as careful consideration of candidates and issues before voting.

The Georgia Catholic Conference encourages all citizens of Georgia to inform their
consciences about the moral dimension of public policy and exercise their constitutional and human right of participation in the political process.
