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.

Resource List on the Relations of Indigenous Peoples and Catholics

This resource list provides suggested books, articles, and videos that teach about the legacy of colonization and the genocide of Indigenous Peoples in the United States and Canada. In particular, the list provides resources that highlight Catholic Church’s role in boarding schools.

The Jesuit Conference of Canada and the U.S. hosted a learning series on the relationship between Indigenous Peoples and the Jesuits in North America during the 2021-2022 academic year. Over three sessions, Unpacking Histories: Reflecting on the relations of Indigenous Peoples and Jesuits in what we currently call the U.S. and Canada featured Indigenous and Jesuit voices reflecting on the history between Jesuits and Indigenous Peoples. Session topics included: an introduction to Jesuit ministries to Indigenous peoples, history of Jesuit-run Indigenous boarding schools, Indigenous spirituality, and opportunities for legislative advocacy. This resource guide was created as a follow-up resource for series participants.
