Centre for Social Thought & Practice offers key election resources

The Catholic Centre for Social Thought and Practice has produced a series of nine accessible videos for individuals and parish groups, focusing on key issues likely to arise during the election campaign – such as migration, war and peace and climate – and on Catholic Social Teaching principles that can help address these.  All the videos come with discussion questions in the notes.

Each video deals with a different theme, from a different Catholic perspective, and comes with discussion questions.
