Two new episodes of the FCCB's podcast, Catholics Across the Aisle: Commentary on Public Policy and Civic Life, focus on our responsibilities at the intersection of faith and politics.
In the first episode, Michael Sheedy, FCCB executive director, and Michele Taylor, associate director for communications, delve into the U.S. bishops' document Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship. The two discuss formation of conscience for participation in political life, pitfalls and difficult decisions for Catholic voters as they prepare to cast their ballots, and the polarization that too often permeates our politics.
In a second election-related podcast, the Candidate Questionnaire Project is covered in detail, including a review of the 10-question surveys for Congressional and legislative candidates, how FCCB staff go about obtaining responses from candidates, and what you will find on the FCCB's webpage dedicated to the project.
