Dear Editor: I have a response to Maria Mastromarino (Letters to the Editor, Oct. 29: Catholics should not be single-issue voters).
Our issues are the teachings of Jesus Christ and His Church. Here are some guidelines for how I think Catholics should vote.
Ask yourself the following questions:
- Which candidate supports policies the Church has identified as intrinsic evils?
- Which party supports items of interest to the Church like religious freedom, school choice, free speech?
- Who has a record of truth and transparency?
- Who supports the fullness of human sexuality as taught by the Church?
- Who supports the sanctity of the family, the elderly, and marriage?
- Who supports personal responsibility?
- Who takes you further from God?
New York has an opportunity this year to actually effect change.
