That the Catholic Church’s social teaching, more than Church leaders and, certainly, much more than partisan politics, should guide Catholics in the political and social arenas was the theme of an April 3 conference at The Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption in San Francisco, said the April 11 Catholic San Francisco, the newspaper of the San Francisco archdiocese. Jesuit Father George Schultze also addressed the conference. In an interview with Catholic San Francisco after the conference, Schultze, an adjunct professor at St. Patrick’s Seminary in Menlo Park, said that, although there are many public policy issues dealing with intrinsic moral evils,
