If the churches decides to stop burning people at the stake, that’s their choice.
But if a nation state decides that executing a murderer is a proper way to defend society against further violence from that murderer, I’m not sure why the Church feels it should get involved.
That’s my point. The RCC has no authority to execute anyone, nor to impose criminal penalties. So, are they seeking to inject their teaching into civil law?
Where are the left on this “breach of separation?”
