The CMCS motto of
'Living the Goodness of a Catholic Man' means to practice the fundamentals of the Faith - read the Bible and the Catechism, practice the 10 Commandments and live out the Catholic sacraments, to grow in holiness and turn our shortcomings into virtues - We are then called to witness to Faithful Citizenship as we participate in the public square through political engagement and civil dialogue. The US Catholic Bishops provide below one way to consider doing this:
"We need to participate for the common good. Sometimes we hear: a good Catholic is not interested in politics. This is not true: good Catholics immerse themselves in politics by offering the best of themselves so that the leader can govern."
-Pope Francis, Morning Meditation
Civilize It: A Better Kind of Politics
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has launched a campaign inviting Catholics to model civility and love for neighbor throughout the year. Civilize It: A Better Kind Of Politics is a response to Pope Francis’ invitation to seek the truth, build bridges, and find solutions together that promote the common good. Join us by taking the pledge and finding resources at CivilizeIt.org.
