Every Catholic parliamentarian must vote according their well-formed conscience. I would say just this. I believe it is sufficient because - I say well-formed because it is not the conscience of 'what seems to me.'

The goods of the earth are meant for everyone.

A Christian who does not protect Creation, who does not let it grow, is a Christian who does not care about the work of God, that work that was born from the love of God for us. And this is the first response to the first creation: protect creation, make it grow.
Pope Francis
Image
The charismatics confused the holy liturgy with a school of samba, but than I was converted when I got to know them better and saw the good they do.
Pope Francis
Image
Together with the social responsibility of businesses, there is also the social responsibility of consumers. Every person ought to have the awareness that 'purchasing is always a moral-and not simply an economic-act.
Pope Francis

In a very real way, the poor are our teachers. They show us that people’s value is not measured by their possessions or how much money they have in the bank. A poor person, a person lacking material possessions, always maintains his or her dignity. The poor can teach us much about humility and trust in God.

Sin, also for those who don't have faith, exists when one goes against one's conscience. To listen to and obey it means, in fact, to decide in face of what is perceived as good or evil. And on this decision pivots the goodness or malice of our action.
Pope Francis
Image
Only by becoming poor ourselves, by stripping away our complacency, will we be able to identify with the least of our brothers and sisters.
Pope Francis
Image
When a society lacks God, even prosperity is joined by a terrible spiritual poverty.
Pope Francis
Image
Christian hope is not a ghost and it does not deceive. It is a theological virtue and therefore, ultimately, a gift from God that cannot be reduced to optimism, which is only human. God does not mislead hope God cannot deny himself. God is all promise.

I invite [journalists] to seriously study the facts of Guadalupe. The Madonna is there. I cannot find another explanation.
Pope Francis

We cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage and the use of contraceptive methods. The teaching of the church, for that matter, is clear and I am a son of the church, but it is not necessary to talk about these issues all the time.
Pope Francis
Image
If someone is gay and seeks the Lord with good will, who am I to judge?
Pope Francis
Image
How good it is for us when the Lord unsettles our lukewarm and superficial lives.
