| Joliet Diocese Legislative Advocacy Network
“Faithful citizenship calls
Catholics to see civic and political responsibilities
through the eyes of faith and to bring our moral convictions
to public life. Catholics in public life have a particular
responsibility to bring together consistently their
faith, moral principles, and public responsibilities.
Believers are called to be a community of conscience
within the larger society and to test public life
by the values of Scripture and the principles of Catholic
social teaching. Our responsibility is to measure
all candidates, policies, parties, and platforms by
how they protect or undermine the life, dignity, and
rights of the human person, whether they protect the
poor and vulnerable and advance the common good.
Faithful
citizenship is about more than elections. It requires
ongoing participation in the continuing political
and legislative process.” The Diocese of
Joliet invites you to exercise your faithful citizenship
by participating in the Diocesan Legislative Advocacy
Network.
Through occasional yet timely email alerts, the Joliet
Diocesan Legislative Advocacy Committee will keep
members of the network up-to-date on actions of state
and federal government for each of the issues identified
below. Check the issues you are interested in supporting
through advocacy. You will receive alerts only for
the issues you check.
