It’s an interesting day when I agree with the pope.
From USATODAY:
“The position of the Catholic Church - against the death penalty - has been reiterated many times…Killing the guilty one is not the way to rebuild justice and reconcile society…On the contrary, there is the risk that the spirit of revenge is fueled and that the seeds of new violence are sown.”
Then again, I DID watch the leaked cell phone video of his hanging in morbid fascination. How anyone can be excited by seeing it is beyond me.
