"We do not tell catholics how to vote." I enjoy this idea because if the church had control over our right to vote we would not be truly free people. We would have to consent to the wishes of the church for everything and the choices we make would not be our own. By allowing us to vote, they are giving us our rights.

"Even those who cannot vote should raise their voices on matters that affect their lives and the common good." Although many people are not yet capable to vote in America, that does not mean that their voices cannot be heard. It is the responsibility of a person to speak up, age does not matter. Even though I am not eighteen, I can still make a difference.

"A good end does not justify an immoral means." Although a situation may work out for the better, that does not always mean that it was intended to do so. If something is started in selfishness and for personal gain than it does not matter how it was finished. Bad intentions are always bad, no matter what the turn out.

"Disrespect for any human life diminishes respect for all human life." When you hurt one person, you may think you are hurting them alone. In reality you are disrespecting all mankind and it affects the total human race.

"Both opposing evil and doing good are essential." It is not enough to just oppose committing evil sins. One must also work and volunteer to promote good in the world, otherwise only half of the job God left for us is completed.
