Episode 50: Politics, Conscience, and the Lay Vocation

As we mark the 4th of July, Archbishop Lucas tackles questions about the role of the Church in the political sphere. What does it mean to be a "faithful citizen"? How do we form our consciences? How should Catholics engage in public life? Discipleship demands that all Catholics work with others to build a civic society aligned with Catholic Social Teaching in which all people are able to reach their fullest calling in both personal and community life. The Archdiocese of Omaha has a number of resources available to help inform our political involvement at https://archomaha.org/faithful-citizenship/.
