The Catholic Democrats PAC is an FEC-registered political action committee dedicated to supporting Democratic politicians and elected officials of all creeds who support the values outlined in the US Bishops' document, Faithful Citizenship. This political action committee is a direct response to Pope Benedict XVI's teaching in Deus Caritas Est, that:
The direct duty to work for a just ordering of society, on the other hand, is proper to the lay faithful. As citizens of the State, they are called to take part in public life in a personal capacity. So they cannot relinquish their participation “in the many different economic, social, legislative, administrative and cultural areas, which are intended to promote organically and institutionally the common good.” [29] (emphasis added)
The Catholic Democrats mission is to work within the Democratic Party to bring about a more just ordering of society.
The Catholic Democrats PAC is part of the larger Catholic Democrats movement, which includes a number of politcal, educational and non-profit organizations.
If you would like to donate to the Catholic Democrats cause, please go to our Donate page.
