Question: What is the contribution of the Catholic Church to American democracy?
Answer:
The Catholic Church contributed greatly to the foundation of American democracy by upholding the dignity of every human person created in God’s image, the importance of moral law, and the principle that all authority comes from God and must serve the common good. Catholic teaching on justice, freedom, and the equality of all souls before God helped shape the moral and ethical foundations of democratic society.
“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” — 2 Corinthians 3:17
