ICC creates website with information about upcoming elections on Nov. 8

Criterion staff report

The Indiana Catholic Conference (ICC), the public policy voice for the Church in Indiana, has created a page on its website about the upcoming elections on Nov. 8.

“To help combat some of the anxiety of this [election] season, we’ve put together a page on our website that links to information about voting, candidates and resources for reflection,” the ICC stated in an e-mail announcing the addition to their website.

“The Church encourages us to answer our call to political responsibility and form our consciences well. This call flows naturally from our baptism and is rooted in our Christian identity.

“As we approach this election season, let us seek to be people that emulate the saints in our communities. Let us vote with expectant hope and trust that Christ will be with us in our discernment.”

The announcement included a quote from Pope Francis in 2013: “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.”
