My favorite uncle was murdered in a premeditated fashion. The death penalty was on the table and I spoke out in court against it during sentencing phase comments. The death penalty isn’t justice, it’s vengeance.I can’t abide the discarding of life in any instance. These are the deeply held I beliefs was taught and still hold today. If you agree, that’s okay. We just disagree.The sanctity of life doesn't have an asterisk as a Catholic. It's why I'm opposed to both. Folks want it both ways, but these teachings are unimpeachable, but you knew that.Does this apply to the Death Penalty as well? The Catholic Church's position on life is unimpeachable.
Two entirely different issues....but you knew that
What crime did an unborn baby do to deserve death?
God himself has dealt out death as punishment. It's Biblical
None whatsoever.
Yes, it's for God to deal death as a punishment. Not man. I was taught to be unconditionally pro-life much in the fashion of Pope Saint John Paul II.
Sorry, there is absolutely no correlation to killing an innocent unborn child to executing someone who murders people.
In fact Biblically speaking if you support the sin of killing the unborn you're just as guilty of doing it. (Not saying you do)
True that But the moment you lose a loved one to murder you'll rethink your position.
Trust me I've been there.
Bottom line....there is absolutely no reason to kill an unborn child in the age of today. Multiple methods of birth control, men need to share responsibility and cover.
It's all about personal responsibility and lack of it is no damn reason a baby should be murdered...and yes it's murder
