“A Catholic cannot vote for a candidate who favors a policy promoting an intrinsically evil act… IF the voter’s intent is to support that position… at the same time, a voter should NOT use a candidate’s opposition to an intrinsic evil to justify indifference or inattentiveness to OTHER evil to other important moral issues involving human life and dignity. There may be times when a Catholic rejects a candidates unacceptable position even on policies promoting an intrinsically evil act may reasonably decide to vote for that candidate for other morally grave reasons.”

“Political Engagement is a necessary part of the life of faith, something Catholic Social Teaching has made clear for decades by all popes. The central doctrine is never a single issue, but always protection and promotion of the common good – it’s about the whole picture!”
