Igreja orienta participação consciente e respeito às diferentes posições nas eleições
Bishop Adimir Antônio Mazali of the Diocese of Erexim is calling on voters to participate in elections with freedom, informed choices, and a focus on the common good. He stated that the Church remains nonpartisan and will not endorse specific candidates or political parties.
Mazali explained that the Church's role is to help form the conscience of citizens and encourage responsible participation in society. He noted that being an active citizen involves more than just voting, as it requires following the electoral process and understanding various proposals.
The bishop also addressed the social impact of political polarization, noting that it often harms how people interact. He urged people to maintain respect for those with different political views to prevent disagreements from breaking family, community, or friendship ties.
