I would be willing to send them seeds. But not food or money.

It's a compilation of bits and pieces of some of the more recent Papal Encynicals. It was put together by the USCCB, as a guide to help Catholics in the voters booth.

Some topics include the environment, unions, the global economy, etc.

You hit the nail on the head- it is about individual liberty and the consequences ofyour choices in a FREE society- not when choices are limited by the gov't.

I would but I am not sure how much I could sacrifice. I only get about $700 a month as it is from SSI.

Note to my fellow CAFers: If I say anything that is unorthodox or just plain wrong, please know that it is not intentional but please correct me. Also, in the prayer threads I will often make a very short post because of pain but don't worry, I am still praying for your intentions.

I do already. Anyone who gives to the Church, Catholic charities or food pantries is already doing this.
