I never understood the compassion argument. it is not compassion to create an underclass living in fear of the law, completely at the mercy of the criminals.
Sure you do, if you know the history of the Catholic Church. How do you think all those Kings kept all those surfs locked to their land. No freedom, pure poverty, and the Kings were happy to have all that slave labor.
While the Church was being fed future Cardinals, Nuns, and Popes by the Kings who sent their siblings to the monasterys. Instead of being put into the Towers to die, the siblings gained control of the Church. This became a symbiotic relationship where they both controlled the peasants, while living of the fruits of their forced labor.
Like Socialism/communism, the peasants are kept in check through fear. In the Feudal system of the dark ages, the King would put fear of death in them while the Church convinced them it was their lot in life and their reward would come in death when they made it to heaven.
The hierarchy of the Church still thinks similarly as they used to. Why else do you think the Catholic Church always supports Socialism and those who are leftists in politics? Like they did with the Kennedy's, the catholic Church chose who they think they will have a good working relationship with. Those are always leftist politicians who push Socialism, because it is the best system for the Catholic Church to keep the people under control.
How else do you think the Catholic Church has dominated Religion in the Southern Hemisphere all the centuries, while convincing the peasants to elect Socialists instead of Capitalists?

Now you have aggravated our FR Catholics enough that they’ll be coming after YOU and leaving their own pope alone for a while.
