The faith should be based on the Bible, but also on reason, tradition, and personal experience.
God, who is heard throughout the Bible, calls for justice for the widows, orphans and aliens who were oppressed by the powers of the day. Therefore the involvement in political life is something that Christians should not avoid.
The family is the basic human community through which persons are nurtured and sustained in mutual love, responsibility, respect, and fidelity.
