New Haven, Conn., Oct 6, 2012 \/ 05:37 pm (CNA<\/a>).- 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 \u201ccandidates and propositions that oppose Church teaching on matters of intrinsic evil.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\u201cCatholics 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,\u201d Anderson said.<\/p>\n

\tHe said faith should transcend party affiliation \u201cin every case.\u201d Religious believers should approach politics \u201cfrom the point of view of their Bible and religion,\u201d and not see their religion through the lens of politics.<\/p>\n

\tAnderson\u2019s e-book \u201cProclaim Liberty: Notes on the Next Great Awakening\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

\tThe e-book will be available from online booksellers for those with e-book readers or the appropriate computer, tablet or smartphone software, the Knights of Columbus said.<\/p>\n

\tAnderson said Catholics should withhold their votes from candidates and ballot measures that support intrinsic evil \u201cin every case, in every race for political office, regardless of the party of the candidate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\u201cThough it is impossible to say which party might benefit most in the long run, if Catholics take such a stand, we could literally change the face of our country\u2019s political debates,\u201d Anderson stated.<\/p>\n

\tThe speeches in his e-book examine how to vote with a well-formed conscience.<\/p>\n

\tHe also discusses the religious freedom controversy surrounding the Department of Health and Human Services mandate, which forces many religious institutions and individuals to provide insurance coverage for abortion-causing drugs, sterilization and contraception against their conscience.<\/p>\n

\tAnderson said Catholics make up 25 percent of the U.S. population and are \u201cuniquely suited\u201d to transform the political process. He urged Catholics to vote in a manner consistent with their faith on \u201ccore issues\u201d and to bring charity into the political process.<\/p>\n

\tThe Knights of Columbus is a Catholic fraternal charitable organization with over 1.8 million members worldwide.<\/p>\n
