God established the death penalty for certain crimes.

Of course it’s justifiable in many cases as God can do no wrong.

I always assumed that the Catholic Church’s official position was complete opposition to both the death penalty and abortion.

“Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill that allows capital punishment with a jury recommendation of at least 8-4 in favour of the death sentence, replacing the state’s previous unanimous requirement of 12-0 for such cases.”

For those who may be confused, two things caused this: (1) Allowing people who may be tribal to be on juries; and (2) Training these people in Jury Nullification.

Amen!
I love PDJT & am disgusted at what the deep state has done to him, but he is being a tool the way he is attacking DeSantis.
I cannot support that!

Even in the information age, Catholics have a tough time finding the ordination of the death penalty by God, which continued into the New Testament.

Government has a sword for a reason.

Far from being guilty of breaking this commandment [Thou shall not kill], such an execution of justice is precisely an act of obedience to it. For the purpose of the law is to protect and foster human life. This purpose is fulfilled when the legitimate authority of the State is exercised by taking the guilty lives of those who have taken innocent lives.

Roman Catechism of the Council of Trent, 1566, Part III, 5, n. 4.

“In response, Krisanne Vaillancourt Murphy, executive director of the anti-capital punishment organization Catholic Mobilizing Network”

I’m surprised any Catholic leader has time to get involved with this, considering how much effort they’re putting into human trafficking across our southern border.

DeSantis is right about the death penalty - in some cases it can be morrally justified????

That has been the operative belief in the United States since the Constitution (and before, of course, and throughout human history). I did not know that DeSantis had taken sole ownership of that concept that goes back to Genesis.

It gives the appearance of using the death penalty to score political points. Brings back memories of Pope John Paul II asking Bush to pardon a death row inmate. Bush ignored the plea for the political appearance of being tough on crime.

It is a loss of points for DeSantis on this one for me.

Incarceration is a penalty.
Execution is the permanent removal of a human being who has proven to be so hideous a threat to society that the action perfectly eliminates the chance that society will ever again be harmed by this monster. This is not a “penalty”, rather it is a firm solution to protect us all.

p.s. Incarceration should mandate working to pay for your own room and board, fitness facility, cable TV etc. Non criminals don’t get these things for free and neither should the incarcerated.

...that is all
