The bishops of New York State have issued a document calling upon Catholics to “exercise our cherished right and our solemn duty as Americans and as Catholics” to vote to support pro-life and pro-family values.
“We Catholics are called to look at politics as we are called to look at everything – through the lens of our faith,” wrote the bishops on Wednesday. “We should be guided in evaluating the important issues facing our state and nation by the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the teachings of His Church.”
