Political Catholicism

Political Catholicism is a set of beliefs that say that a person's Catholic faith should guide their political decisions. It means that Catholics should make sure their political beliefs are in line with the teachings of their faith. For example, Catholics should work to make sure that laws protect life from conception to natural death, ensure that people have access to education and healthcare, and promote laws that protect the environment. By following these beliefs, Catholics can make sure their politics support the values of their faith.
