Carl Anderson, head of the Knights of Columbus, will release an e-book of his three recent major speeches on responsibility in the voting booth, asserting that Catholics can transform politics by withholding votes from "candidates and propositions that oppose Church teaching on matters of intrinsic evil."
"Catholics and other Christians will find in this e-book a thought-provoking conversation about our political situation today and how we ought to approach our responsibility in voting," Anderson said.
He said faith should transcend party affiliation "in every case." Religious believers should approach politics "from the point of view of their Bible and religion," and not see their religion through the lens of politics.
Anderson's e-book "Proclaim Liberty: Notes on the Next Great Awakening" will be released by the Random House imprint Image Books on Oct. 9. It contains three speeches Anderson has given in the last year: his National Catholic Prayer Breakfast speech, his Catholic Press Association speech, and his speech to the Catholic Association of Latino Leaders.
