Catholic Social Teaching and 2024 Elections, Part One

In November 2024, voters will elect local, state, and national leadership. In addition to electing a new president, U.S. citizens will vote on all 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and 34 of the 100 seats in the U.S. Senate. People of faith are called to prepare for voting by reflecting on values articulated by Catholic Social Teaching (CST). To understand the perspective of CST as we prepare for these elections, we invite you to research and consider the declarations of popes, bishops, and CST scholars on the responsibilities of participating in voting and ensuring voting
rights for all citizens.
