Bishop Felipe Estévez tells Florida’s Catholics to vote pro-life, pro-family in November

Excellent...This is the 3rd Bishop in a week who has spoken out to support Catholic teachings. I hope we see a lot more of them doing so, especially before the election in November.

Although Catholic voters have received mixed signals this election year from some prelates, Bishop Felipe Estévez has sent a clear message to the faithful of his diocese: human life and family issues have top priority when deciding for whom to vote.

In a letter to the Catholics of the diocese of St. Augustine, Florida, where Estévez presides, the newly-appointed bishop urges the faithful to “take your Catholic beliefs, values, and consciences into the voting booth with you.”

While refraining from specific political endorsements, Estévez notes that it is “my responsibility to remind you that, for us Catholics, some issues are simply never morally acceptable,” beginning with those that violate the right to life.
