__**The Challenge of Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship**__

1. Our constitution protects our right to religious freedom, and lets us speak our minds without the interference of government, favoritism or discrimination.

2. When voting or involved in politics, we as catholics should be guided more by our moral responsibilities when we make our decisions rather than by whoever we happen to like more or whichever party we may like at the time.

3. When we seek to do good we have to make morally sound decisions to make sure that what we are doing is the right thing to do.

4. When there are laws that are morally wrong, it is up to us to try and figure out a way to reinstate justice and right and to do whatever we can to do that, without ever abandoning where we stand morally, and maintaining our commitment to full protection of human life - from conception to death.

5. Society today directly attacks the value of life - using euthanasia, abortion, human cloning, and destruction of human embryos to demean human life, and even kill it in its innocence.
