Upfront with the Archbishop

56. How to Vote as a Catholic, Abortion Politics, and the Principle of Subsidiarity


Listen Later

How do I vote as a follower of Jesus? Is there objective criteria for voting with a Catholic conscience? 

Join Archbishop Smith for a discussion about how to vote as a Catholic, as we get ready for the May 29th provincial election in Alberta. We discuss what it means to have a well-formed conscience, the principles of Catholic social teaching that need to inform our voting decisions, how government policy on abortion and assisted suicide impacts our voting, and how to pray to the Holy Spirit for wisdom as we cast a vote.
