The Five Issues That Matter Most

Product Description

Some of the finest minds in the Church today have collaborated on a 96-page Voter's Guide entitled, The Five Issues That Matter Most, to help Catholics make informed decisions about this upcoming election.

As Catholics, we recognize that there are many important issues that must be addressed during an election. We also recognize that some issues are objectively more important than others because they more fundamentally address the well being of our society. These issues go beyond partisan lines. They define the kind of society we live in, and the kind of people we are.

Written mostly in question-and-answer form, this book looks at five major topics:

Abortion
Euthanasia
Embryonic Stem Cell Research
Human Cloning
Same-Sex Marriage

The Five Issues That Matter Most was written by some of the most respected Catholic commentators in the Church today including: Mark Brumley, President of Ignatius Press, Fr. Frank Pavone of Priests for Life, Kim Marshall of Generation Life, Fr. Tadeusz Pacholczyk, Ph.D. of the National Catholic Bioethics Center, author Matthew Pinto, and Fr. Tom Euteneuer of Human Life International.

This book is an excellent catechetical tool for understanding how the Church "prioritizes" moral issues -- something that everyone needs to be aware of on an ongoing basis, for our own benefit, as well as for voting guidelines. This resource is one that can be used as a reference EVERY year when voting - not just in a presidential election year.
