Bishops urge members of flock to vote
  New York’s Catholic bishops issued a message today urging Catholics to vote in November and emphasizing that “the protection of human life rises above all other issues.” The bishops provide a list of questions on issues Catholics should “consider as they inform their consciences in preparation for entering the voting booth.”
  “The right to life is the right through which all others flow,” the bishops wrote. “To the extent candidates reject this fundamental right by supporting an objective evil, such as legal abortion, euthanasia or embryonic stem cell research, Catholics should consider them less acceptable for public office.”
  Catholics have an obligation not only to learn about presidential candidates’ positions, but those of all candidates, bishops said. Church officials do not endorse candidates for office.
