Description: "Catholic voters heading for the polls are often confused about their vote. The authors of Catholics, Politics, & Public Policy offer a balanced and non-ideological review of contemporary issues in the light of Catholic social teaching. The issues include welfare reform and education reform; health care policy and the care of the elderly; war and nuclear weapons; criminal justice and law enforcement; environmental protection and protecting the sanctity of life."--Jacket.
