USCCB
usccb.org is the official website for the United States Bishops.  It has a wealth of information from Daily Readings (Scripture passages for every Mass of the year) to commentary on a wide range of contemporary moral issues… including, forming a Catholic Social Conscience and politics.
 
“Politics is a noble mission to promote the common good. As such, it is about ethics and principles as well as issues, candidates, and officeholders. To engage in "politics," then, is more than getting involved in current partisanship and debates; it is about acting with others and through institutions for the benefit of all. The fact that much of our political rhetoric has become very negative and that political polarization seems to have grown should not dissuade us from the high calling to work for a world that allows everyone to thrive, a world in which all persons, all families, have what they need to fulfill their God-given destiny.”

Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship is the teaching document of the U.S. Catholic bishops on the political responsibility of Catholics. The statement helps Catholics to form their consciences, to learn about Catholic social teaching on important issues, to contribute to civil and respectful public dialogue, and to shape political choices in light of Catholic teaching.

“A polarized Church. A divided nation. Pope Francis calls for “a better kind of politics.” How will you respond?”
