That’s not nice to Catholics here

Lib pope is fair enough

Not picking a fight....don’t mean it that way

We don’t grasp what the pope is to them

She was offered a similar deal, but chose to go to trial. She gambled and lost. Her boyfriend, who was the actual killer, will be eligible for parole in 2022.

Cheers to all of the EX-Husbands out in FR land, it won’t get your Family, Life, Money, Property or Happiness back... but here is one bitch that lost.

I will process a couple of beers in celebration

My point in the discussion was to point out the one-sided nature of the previous comments.

There is a tendency among some Freepers to make judgmental claims about the Catholic Church without taking the similar view of the history of their own religious sects.

Likewise, there is currently a knee-jerk reaction to anything and everything Pope Francis does and says, even when it upholds the sanctity of marriage, the dignity of life, and living the beatitudes.

Yep. She had her husband killed, and the jury thought it was cruel enough to give her the death penalty.

In my state, we do both - we pay the expenses for a death penalty trial, and still pay for lifetime imprisonment, because nobody has been executed in 50 years.
