Cathleen Kaveny on "Catholics as Citizens, Catholics as Voters," 2020 Moreau Lecture (10/14/20)

What do we do when we vote in an American political election? For the 2020 Moreau Lecture at King's College (PA), Cathleen Kaveny argued that citizens vote primarily for candidates—individuals running for particular offices—not for “issues.” More fully, while issues of course matter, voters should consider whether and to what degree the issues in question can be effectively addressed by the particular candidate seeking a particular office.
