...death penalty
&&
This really sticks in my craw! I grew up with the Baltimore Catechism, which taught me that the death penalty and warfare are acceptable under certain conditions. I am so sick of the liberals gloming this onto Church statements these days. But I am glad that the bishop addressed abortion.
I thought the death penalty gave a soul a chance to receive mercy from God because it had reached a pass where on earth it would receive none. I thought warfare was justified to protect and save the innocent from being brutalized from the strong.
I don't like the liberal influences on the church either. Had enough of that crap in the Episcopal church, and they aren't even as in your face about it as some of the catholics are. I think it's that Catholic guilt thing.
