Mass. Bishops Urge Catholics to Vote Next Week; Urge They Vote so as to "Enhance Human Dignity"

Massachusetts' four Roman Catholic bishops are urging Catholics to vote in next week's elections in a way that will "enhance human dignity," the Boston Herald website reports today (October 25, 2010).

The bishops issued a joint statement today, one week before citizens go to the polls to vote in all 10 of the state's congressional districts, for governor, and other statewide offices.

The statement -- while not endorsing any candidate or party -- calls on Catholics to "share their vision of a better society" at the polls.

It also urges voters to weigh abortion, same-sex marriage, religious freedom, and the well-being of the poor in their decisions.
