About the Catholic Legislative Network
Confidentiality, Quality and Respect
The Bishops of the California Catholic Conference have agreed to a set of protocols for the operation of the Catholic Legislative Network in their diocese and the state. They also have made this pledge to Network members concerning the operation and nature of the Catholic Legislative Network.
A Catholic Call to Political Responsibility
 |
|
In response to this challenge, the bishops of California have established a state-wide legislative network of Catholics who are being asked to become more engaged in the political process. Every archdiocese and diocese in the state will celebrate a Life and Dignity Registration Sunday. During each Mass, the network will be explained and parishioners will be invited to register for the Network. Registration cards will be forwarded to the California Catholic Conference for inclusion in the state-wide data base.

Our Catholic faith calls us to participate in the life of our communities. From conception to natural death, our faith calls us to protect life and to promote dignity and respect for all human beings. In their 2008 Faithful Citizenship, statement, the U.S. Bishops write these challenging words. "In the Catholic Tradition, responsible citizenship is a virtue; participation in the political process is a moral obligation." (Page 4, par. 13)
