Editorial: Go into the voting booth with a well-informed conscience
what’s a Catholic to think when it comes to voting in 2008? And how’s a Catholic to feel when there is no perfect candidate who embraces all that the Church teaches when it comes to politics and policies that focus on moral principles, the defense of life, the needs of the weak, and the pursuit of the common good? (Page 4)
