| TIME CHANGE THIS WEEKEND!
MAKE SURE TO TURN YOUR CLOCKS BACK 1 HOUR THIS SUNDAY MORNING AT 2 AM! |
|
In the Catholic Tradition, responsible citizenship is a virtue, and participation in political life is a moral obligation...Difficult political decisions require the exercise of a well-formed conscience aided by prudence. This exercise of conscience begins with always opposing policies that violate human life or weaken its protection. "Those who formulate law therefore have an obligation in conscience to work toward correcting morally defective laws, lest they be guilty of cooperating in evil and in sinning against the common good" ~ "Faithfult Citizenship", U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops
