Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a practicing Catholic who believes in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ. I believe Jesus to be the only son of God, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. I believe Jesus suffered under Pontius Pilot, was crucified, died, and was buried. He rose from the dead, ascended to Heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. I believe Jesus will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. I value integrity, honesty, courage, and people of strong character.
Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?
Very Conservative
