” ” ” “The believers, explain the bishops, should give their preference "to those whose attitudes and ideas they feel are close to, or at least not against, the values and moral principles of Catholicity". The bishops "will never fail to remind them of the need to build social and political life on the unchangeable values that come from the truth on the human being", such as "the dignity and defence of life since its conception to its natural end, the family based on a lasting marriage between man and woman, the right-duty of the parents to raise their children, and the promotion of the common good in all its forms". Issues on which, they warn, "there can be no compromises". "Moral integrity, proven competence within political and civil life, the testimony of life" but, add the bishops, "a strong personality, the respect of others, an attitude of dialogue and the ability to cooperate in order to solve conflicts, the love for one’s country and the ability to consider power as a service, are also important". Finally, an appeal to "respecting the sharing of roles and responsibilities between lay people and clergymen" and to a "conflict-free" election campaign.” “
