U.S.A. Election Resources

“We need to participate for the common good. Sometimes we hear: a good Catholic is not interested in politics. This is not true: good Catholics immerse themselves in politics by offering the best of themselves so that the leader can govern.” – Pope Francis (Address to a Joint Session of the Congress of the United States of America, 9/24/15).
