As per the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference, "As part of an effort to educate citizens about candidates and their positions on issues important to Catholic voters, the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference (PCC) sent a questionnaire to candidates for statewide office to give them the opportunity to make their positions known on key issues. All four statewide candidates (U.S. Senator and PA Governor) also participated in interviews about their views with PCC staff. The election resources posted here are for information purposes only; the PCC does not endorse candidates for political office." You are certainly familiar with the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference's resultant Voter Guide Bulletin Insert, which looks at candidates for governor and the U.S. senate.
For Catholics striving to be Faithful Citizens (& all people of good will) in the 8th Congressional District, this is also a critical election year with regard to other offices. With regard to candidates for those other offices (as well as candidates for governor and the U.S. senate), information is available from the Pro Life Union of Southeast Pennsylvania.
"all those who believe in the sanctity of life, regardless of whether they support or oppose the theoretical validity of brain-death criteria, [should] oppose the use of brain-death criteria to obtain organs for transplantation in clinical practice. We can then, as a single voice, support medical research seeking innovative, morally uncontentious ways to replace failing organs" (National Catholic Register, 10/25/21)
"It is everyone’s hope that rape victims, whether pregnant or not, receive the most compassionate and effective care available. Unfortunately, using Plan B and continuing to cite the faulty Peoria Protocol, based upon what we now know, is simply an immoral compromise—with the unintended consequence of the loss of human life and the abandonment of truly loving and courageous Christian health care" (Dr. Chris Kahlenborn, 4/8/19)
pharmacies
Certain other "contraceptives" can act as abortifacients! For example, it has long been known that other hormonal "contraceptives" can cause early abortions and are deadly dangerous (e.g., 1, 2) and just about every pharmacy (including those in supermarkets and department stores!) provides such. No parish should be allowing advertisements from providers of abortifacients! Please speak with your pastor, to ensure that your parish - be it in a bulletin or a directory - does not have such ads.
Especially with Central Jersey and the Philly suburbs so much being a worldwide capitol for the pharmaceutical industry,
