Says the man surrounded by armed guards.
Come back, Benedict.
This guy, the Pope, is getting old.
This guy is definitely not an intellectual giant.
Pope Benedict didn’t support the death penalty, either.
Hey Charlie Manson, the Pope is your guy!
Living at the Vatican takes these dopes out of the Real World
And the next item on the liberal agenda checklist is...
You’ve got to have one or the other.
Some people are just too crazy and violent to be out and about, no matter how long their timeout. Remember last week, when a guy got out after 30 years, and killed his mother after the welcome home party she threw for him?
Nothing new. The Catholic church has opposed the death penalty for as long as I remember.
Good grief. He just keeps giving them more ammunition.
Sorry, Pope. You’re flat-out wrong about life imprisonment.
As Robert Heinlein used to say, MYOB.
>>”The corrupt one does not perceive his own corruption. It is a little like what happens with bad breath: someone who has it hardly ever realizes it; other people notice and have to tell him,” the pope said. “Corruption is an evil greater than sin. More than forgiveness, this evil needs to be cured.”
So, the innocent people who want to lock up criminals are corrupt, but the criminals themselves are the “victim” of poor social justice? What a Progressive moron!
Never heard anyone oppose life imprisonment before.
“The pope said criminal penalties should not apply to children, and should be waived or limited for the elderly,”
Would like to see thousands of old geezers (me included) set free to correct some of our problems without fear of criminal penalties ....
Many countries do not have life imprisonment. Mexico, for example, is 30 years maximum.
Yeah, this isn't really news. The Catholic Church has not supported the death penalty for as long as I can remember.
