and that he or she practices her faith should be a crucial consideration for the Catholic
voter.
Every vote a Christian casts is not only an instance of the exercise of those liberties and rights we have
as free citizens. Because the Kingdom of God is Gods gift, inaugurated, as Lumen Gentium teaches,
in the world by the life, ministry, death and Resurrection of Jesus, The Lord, we are commissioned to
do what is within our ability to make Gods Kingdom a living experience for all of his people. And a
vote wisely and virtuously cast is a fulfillment of that commission!

Ask the right questions
as basis of your selection among candidates. Do not demand to know of a
congressman or a senator what his or her local projects have been. Legislators are not supposed to
have local projects. They are supposed to legislate, to attend congressional sessions, rise to debate
and actively take part in committee hearings. Ask, rather, whether or not they have attended the
sessions of the Lower House or of the Senate diligently and regularly. On the other hand, do not make
kapit sa taas a criterion for the choice of local elective officials, because a local official leads by his
own charisma and leadership skills. We reject a government by patronage!
A person who aspires for high office but who, because of inexperience, will be totally dependent on
advisers is not the best possible candidate for national positions, but we should be willing to repose
trust on those who, we are convinced, are capable of leading and of serving with probity, high above
suspicion and with skill, competence and wisdom that comes from abiding faith. That a person is a

ELECTIONS ANd ThE duTY OF ThE ChRISTIAN
It is not difficult to feel the election fever -- even if the 2016 elections are still so months away. It has
always been complained that the efforts of the Church and other non-political groups to educate
voters come too late. It is the reason for this letter, this early -- so that it may never be again said that
we spoke too late.
The exercise of the right of suffrage is not only a political right. It is also a moral obligation. For the
Christian it is one of the most meaningful and effective means of contributing to the flourishing of the
Kingdom of God, a kingdom of justice, peace and love. And so while politicians plan and strategize,
and, this early, find ways of circumventing the law against pre-mature campaigning, the Church cannot
