“Pope John Paul [named] St. Thomas More the Patron Saint of Statesmen, Politicians, and Lawyers. This saint’s willingness to die rather than compromise the truth serves as an example to all. Often, society tries to convince us that faith is personal and should not influence political or legal positions and decisions. St. Thomas More is someone who reminds us that this is a false understanding. His example reminds men and women who serve in public office or who practice law of the importance of personal integrity, which is, after all, a form of truth. Integrity requires that we allow our faith to shape every aspect of life, public as well as private.” (United States Catholic Catechism for Adults, Part III. Christian Morality: The Faith Lived, p. 432).
