.Catholic AnswerPolitical Catholicism is a bit of a misnomer in that the Catholic Church, as such, is not really a political force. However, lay Christians are part of the political process, and, as members of the Body of Christ, they have a responsibility as part of their vocation in the lay life to support their governments to the extent that they are capable and to oppose them when they are morally wrong.
