The Catholic Man Show - Voting with a well-formed conscience

 

We have a duty to vote – let’s discuss

About our drink:

Whistlepig 12 year

Rye inspired by Old World barrel-aging traditions.

This 86-proof 12-year-old Rye Whiskey is a marriage of whiskeys aged in New American Oak and ingeniously finished in Port (7%,) French Sauternes (30%,) and Madeira casks (63%). We’ve taken the elements that are most quintessential in an American rye – boldness and character – and fused them with the elegance and grace of an 18-year-old Scotch.

About our gear:

Shoe Tree

A shoe tree holds a shoe in its proper shape so it dries out correctly, and keeps the leather from cracking by wicking away moisture. The absorbent wood also helps dry out the lining of shoes so that they don’t rot from the inside out.

Our topic:
Catholics have a moral obligation to promote the common good through the exercise of their voting privileges (CCC 2240). It is not only civil authorities who have responsibility for a country. “Service of the common good require citizens to fulfill their roles in the life of the political community.” (CCC 2239). This means citizens should participate in the political process at the ballot box.
