FAQs
Who is the Minnesota Catholic Conference?
Minnesota Catholic Conference (MCC) is the public policy voice of the Catholic Church in Minnesota. The Minnesota bishops constitute the Conference's membership, and a staff of laypeople serves them. MCC supports the ministry of our state’s Catholic bishops by:
- Working with political and community leaders to shape legislation that serves human dignity and the common good
- Educating Catholics and the public about the ethical and moral framework that should be applied to public policy choices
- Mobilizing the Catholic community to make its voice heard in the public arena
Shouldn’t the Church stay out of politics? You know, the “separation of Church and State?”
Catholics bring an important perspective on the dignity of the human person and the common good of all into the public arena. MCC does not impose our beliefs but rather proposes policy solutions that not only accord with our faith but are also in the best interests of Minnesotans. Not only is it perfectly legal and acceptable for religiously motivated citizens to support certain policies and laws, but also, it would be a great disservice to our state if faithful advocates stayed home and out of the public conversation.
Does the Catholic Advocacy Network pick a political party side?
No. The Catholic Church and Minnesota Catholic Conference are both non-partisan. We care about similar issues that all Americans do but transcend the stiff categories and false dichotomies that too often characterize American politics. As Catholics at the Capitol, we advocate for issues that don’t neatly line up with a single party’s platform. This is because we are principled, not partisan, and work to advance a consistent ethic of life that fosters human flourishing at every stage.
