There are many reasons to say \u201cNO\u201d to the death penalty. It is not a just punishment, since it \u201coffers no justice to victims, but rather foments revenge\u2026 And it prevents any possibility of correcting a possible miscarriage of justice.\u201d It\u2019s morally inadmissible, because \u201cit destroys the most important gift we have received: life.\u201d And, as Francis reminds us, \u201cin the light of the Gospel, the death penalty is unacceptable.\u201d Let us not remain indifferent in the face of laws which, in some parts of the world, still allow the death penalty. Let us join the Holy Father in his prayer intention by sharing this video.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cEach day, there is a growing \u201cNO\u201d to the death penalty around the world. For the Church, this is a sign of hope.<\/p>\n
From a legal point of view, it is not necessary.<\/p>\n
Society can effectively repress crime without definitively depriving the offenders of the possibility of redeeming themselves.<\/p>\n
Always, in every legal sentence, there must be a window of hope. <\/p>\n
Capital punishment offers no justice to victims, but rather encourages revenge. <\/p>\n
And it prevents any possibility of undoing a possible miscarriage of justice.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the death penalty is morally inadmissible, for it destroys the most important gift we have received: life. Let us not forget that, up to the very last moment, a person can convert and change.<\/p>\n
And in the light of the Gospel, the death penalty is unacceptable. The commandment, \u201cThou shalt not kill,\u201d refers to both the innocent and the guilty.<\/p>\n
I, therefore, call on all people of goodwill to mobilize for the abolition of the death penalty throughout the world.<\/p>\n
Let us pray that the death penalty, which attacks the dignity of the human person, may be legally abolished in every country.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
