The elections of 2016 are in fact the most important elections so far in our lifetime. And the People of God are called to rise to the occasion and elect public servants who know the difference between serving the public and killing the public.
Click here to hear the homily Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, preached at the national gathering of the Catholic Marketing Network on Thursday, July 28, 2016. The Trade Show brought together Catholic publishers, media apostolates, bookstores and others in Chicago for several days.
In this homily, Fr. Frank speaks directly to the confusion surrounding this election, especially the Presidential race, and shows why we cannot take a "pass" on voting. Moreover, he shows how we can cut through the apathy and cynicism, do our homework on the candidates and their parties, take up the armor of faith, and jump into the battle.
Fr. Frank quotes the United States Bishops in their landmark document, Living the Gospel of Life.

On Election Day, our country will make critical decisions about the types of leaders we will have for years to come. If you have not been doing so, it is time to begin looking more carefully at the candidates who will be running.
To make the right decision when deciding on the candidates whom you will support, it is essential that you look carefully at the positions of the candidates in the race. This step in the process is critical in fulfilling your responsibilities as a faithful citizen, as you must participate in the political process with a fully informed conscience. This includes knowing the positions of the candidates.

Priests for Life has come to signify two distinct but related movements within the wider pro-life movement.
On one level, as described below, Priests for Life refers to a very specific effort to galvanize the clergy to preach, teach, and mobilize their people more effectively in the effort to end abortion and euthanasia.
On another level, Priests for Life represents a family of ministries that reach and enrich every aspect of the pro-life movement, for clergy and laity alike, in a wide variety of activities. This has come to pass precisely because priests are not ordained for themselves, but for the people.So in activating clergy, we are activating all the segments of the Church, the pro-life movement, and the wider society in the defense of life.
We refer to this wider family of ministries as Gospel of Life Ministries, to indicate that what unites them all is the Gospel of Life, the good news that life is victorious over death!
So whether you are clergy or laity, young or old, active or inactive, and whatever your religious or ethnic background, you're in the right place if you want to do something to restore protection to the most vulnerable members of the human family!
