CMM+The+Challenge+Of+Forming+Consciences+for+Faithful+Citizenship

__Why Does The Church teach about issues affecting public policy?__ -Catholics are called to realize the truth about what is right and wrong in the world to try to bring peace and happiness to everyone.

__A well-formed conscience__ A conscience is something that everyone has that gives us the ability to choose between right and wrong and all catholics are meant to always choose what's right based on what act they truly feel would have the best result.

__The right to life and the dignity of the person__ Life is more sacred than anything else and we can't do something that will destroy it. Abortion, human cloning, etc, are factors that end innocent lives and we should not be in favor of those factors or choose to take part in those factors either.

__Solidarity__ We are supposed to do what is the most just and get rid of anything in the world that is politically incorrect or considered wrong to certain groups of people. No one should be discriminated against and we must stop that.
