Know the Positions of the Presidential Candidates
Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops releases Know the Positions of the Presidential Candidates In keeping with its mission to educate and inform Catholics and assist the faithful with their responsibility to participate in political life, the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops has released its 2016 presidential voter guide, Know the Positions of the Presidential Candidates. To help voters form their consciences before casting their ballots, the positions of the presidential candidates on several key issues have been compiled from policies, public statements, official and campaign websites and other resources. These issues do not represent a complete list of issues that may be of importance to Catholics. This document, approved for distribution in Florida parishes, is but one tool to help Catholics prepare for the election and is not a substitute for individual research and study. The responsibility to make political choices rests with each individual in light of a properly formed conscience in accordance with human reason and the truths of our faith. The FCCB neither supports nor opposes any candidate for public office.
