Catholic Union launches election guide as poll predicts strong Catholic turnout

The Catholic Union has published an election guide as momentum builds toward the UK General Election on Thursday 4 July.

The guide includes suggested questions that any of the country's 4.5 million Catholics can pose to candidates, as well as useful quotes from Church teaching to provide context. It follows a General Election survey carried out by the Catholic Union earlier this year that found that over 90 per cent of Catholic Union members and supporters were planning to vote in the election: a figure that is significantly higher than the national average.
