The Seventh Commandment: You shall not steal.
Are Christians obliged to become involved in politics and society?
It is a special duty of the Christian laity people to become involved in politics, society, and commerce in the spirit of the Gospel: in charity, truth, and justice. Catholic social teaching offers them clear guidance in this endeavor. [2442]
Partisan political activity is, however, incompatible with the ministry of bishops, priests, and religious, who must be of service to everyone. (YOUCAT question 440)
