Ep 138 - Navigating Faith and Politics: A Catholic Voter's Guide

Politics and religion are two topics that should "never" be discussed in one episode. With the upcoming U.S. election, James thought it prudent to encourage Catholic men and women to get out and vote. In this episode of Manly Catholic, he discusses the importance of informed voting for Catholics, especially in light of the upcoming elections. He emphasizes the need for a well-formed conscience that aligns with Catholic teachings, particularly on issues like abortion, marriage, and family values. He  argues against voting for candidates who oppose fundamental Catholic principles and encourages listeners to engage in the political process with a moral framework. He provides resources for further guidance and calls for Catholics to be unapologetic in their faith and civic duties.
