Pope calls for abolition of death penalty in address to Congress

Francis says that every life is sacred and society can only benefit from rehabilitating those convicted of crimes.
The pope noted that U.S. bishops have renewed their call to abolish capital punishment. That idea is unpopular, however, with many American politicians

The Church has history being against the death penalty, this is nothing new. If someone murders someone they deserve to die

Pope Francis Calls Assisted Suicide 'A Sin Against God'
VATICAN CITY (RNS) Pope Francis has warned doctors and ethicists on several hot-button social issues, attacking abortion, embryonic stem cell research and euthanasia as “playing with life” and “a sin against God.”

In a strongly worded address that marked a departure for a pope who tends to focus more on social justice issues, Francis denounced what he called the “false sense of compassion” that was used to promote abortion and those who regarded euthanasia as “an act of dignity.”

Now cue up the Liberal outrage....

The majority of the world already considers the death penalty as barbaric

The US stands alone with China, India and the Muslim states as the only ones still using the death penalty

You're just stupid enough to believe that the death penalty falls along conservative and leftist lines. It's not even remotely true.

That's half the world, idiot.

Incorrect.

China, India, all Muslim countries, many African and Asian countries, and of course America, total up far more than half of the worlds population that still use the death penalty for capitol crimes.

Maybe liberals have a different definition for the word "majority"? .......

Thats where it falls.....most Blue States have either abolished the death penalty or no longer use it

The vast majority of our executions take place in Jesusland

Most Leftists support capital punishment. Are you really this stupid?

California abolished the death penalty. The resulting horrific crimes caused us to reinstate the death penalty. Or has California now become Jesusland?

Has nothing to do with morality.

It's justice for the victim and their family......take a life.......forfeit yours. ......

When the left gives in to the church's views that homosexuality is immoral, marriage is between a man and woman, and abortion is murder, then we'll talk about the death penalty for your thug heroes on death row.

I consider the death penalty a matter of housekeeping. It's tidying up the prisons.
