"Having studied the document 'Voting with a Clear Conscience' and the comprehensive legal opinion of Bopp, Coleson & Bostrom, I concur in the reasoning and conclusions of both without hesitation or reservation. I commend this excellent material to all thinking Catholics, clerical and lay alike." -- William P. Clark, California Supreme Court Justice (Ret.) [Note: Judge Clark served under President Ronald Reagan as National Security Advisor, Secretary of the Interior, and Deputy Secretary of State.]
The following questions, among others, are considered in this booklet:
What do the Pope and Bishops say about our duty to vote?
What issues are most important in deciding which candidate to support?
Does the party of the candidate matter?
What if no candidate seems right?
