Informed Voting Matters

Written on: May 14, 2020

To have a bigger impact on our care for Earth, our common home and its resources, consider the politicians you vote for and the companies you support with your wallet:

• What are their values?
• What do their actions say about their commitment to caring for our common home?

(From: EarthBeat, an exploration of Laudato Si’ through a social, political and spiritual lens)

One of the Corporate Stands of the Grey Nuns of the Sacred Heart is support of the Earth Charter. This is such an extraordinarily rich document that it would be difficult to ever totally mine its riches. We would like to use some of its riches during this election year to focus on the various moral concerns and responsibilities that we have living in a democratic society. Each concern will be accompanied with current and related information.

The second focus is on Ecology

The first focus is the treatment of ‘Strangers” or Immigrants.
