The FCFC was meant as a guide for those in the pews. It is meant to help each one of us to approach voting with the knowledge that the people we have to choose amongst are not angels or demons, that the issues are many and varied, and that we each must examine them in context.
Until, and unless the Bishops come out with a document that says Thou must vote straight Republican ticket, or Thou shalt not vote Democrat, each person is required to study all the issues and vote the way they think best meets all Church teachings. Presumably, prayer is involved.
While we each have our views, they are just that, views. Not one Bishop that I know of has said you will be excommunicated if you vote for Trump or Clinton or any other candidate. If the Bishops are not saying this, perhaps it is because there are valid reasons for voting for each of them and valid reasons for voting against each of them.
Rather than going over the same points over and over, perhaps we should all write to our individual Bishops and ask for clarification, especially on paragraph 34. And, once we get answers, rather than using the response as a tool if the Bishop agrees with us, or ignore it if he doesn’t, we should continue to pray for what to do and pray for the country.
