Political Science / Government

The American Constitution says that the government should not promote one religion over another; what is often misrepresented as separation of church and state.  But what role does politics play in the life of a Catholic?  How can the Catholic voice be heard in the public square without being marginalized?

Every Christian has a responsibility to the country he lives in.  We are called to be in the world, not of the world.  Living in a society means voting responsibly, defending Christian morals, and protecting innocent life.  It doesn't mean you have to belong to a specific political party because there is not a party of Christianity.
