A wide-angle photograph of the U.S. Senate chamber, empty of people, with rows of desks and blue carpet. Overlaid on the left portion of the photo of the Senate is an etching of Pope Francis looking left to right. On the right portion of the photo is a label that reads, “U.S. Senate. Beneath the Senate photo and two graphic overlays is a quote from Pope Francis that reads: “Politics, though often maligned, remains a lofty vocation and one of the highest forms of charity, inasmuch as it seeks the common good.” — Evangelii Gaudium (§205). The visual conveys a message of moral governance rooted in Catholic social teaching.
