The Role of Government in Catholic Teaching — Bishop Thomas Daly of the Diocese of Spokane explains the Catholic perspective on the role of government in serving the common good. Rooted in the principles of dignity, subsidiarity, and stewardship, government is meant to protect life and support communities in meeting their material, moral, and spiritual needs—without overreaching. Bishop Daly highlights key issues such as border security, care for creation, and religious liberty, urging Catholics to form their consciences and vote in ways that uphold the sanctity of life and the responsibilities of civic engagement.
