His (the thief’s) death on the cross was his penance. We may be forgiven our sins, but will still suffer the punishment, either in this life or the next. That is also, by the way, one of the better arguments in favor of capital punishment.

If you do not have some serious Bible verses to back that up, you need to stop saying that. There is no penance because there is no sin. It was taken away at the cross. There might be consequences of your sin, but not penance. Jesus paid the price, not us.

His (the thief’s) death on the cross was his penance. Not per the Roman Catholic definition of penance.
The thief on the cross was being executed for a crime he committed against the Roman Empire.
His execution had nothing to do with his confession...other than he realized the hopelessness of situation and appealed to Jesus for forgiveness.

His (the thief’s) death on the cross was his penance. What a crock.
No Catholic priest told him to go and get himself crucified to get forgiveness for his sins.
And I seriously doubt he volunteered for it.
He was being executed for crime. That is NOT penance.
