No single political program embodies the entire Christian law of love and justice, but in the present day we strongly believe that the platform of the Democratic Party more nearly reflects the totality of Catholic concern for the common good. As Catholics and Democrats, we seek to put our Faith into practice by supporting policies that will

• enable more Americans to make a decent living,
• foster a genuine national security rooted in strength, diplomacy, and respect for human rights,
• ensure dignity and a path to citizenship for immigrants and their families,
• reduce abortions by helping women avoid unwanted pregnancies,
• provide a safety net for all families and children, and
• restore honor and integrity to our government

1. To support Democratic candidates and, where needed, other politicians who are working for social justice and the common good.

2. To promote Catholic teachings concerning social justice and to increase awareness in the media and the electorate of the Catholic vision of a just society, resisting efforts to reduce Catholic teaching to one or two issues.

3. To facilitate communication among Catholic organizations, the DFL Party, and other advocates for a just society, both by finding common ground and by finding new ways to approach issues on which we may disagree.
