BishopsGuidelines on Advocacy
The Catholic Bishops of Texas recognize the need to distribute guidelines for parishes concerning advocacy and electioneering in election years. The Church speaks often to issues that are both moral and political, but it directs its attention to the issues, not to the political parties of candidates. The Bishops of Texas have therefore created a document titled: Guidelines for Pastors and Parishes on Advocacy and Political Participation. Click here to read them (opens as a PDF).
