Obviously, then, Jesus Christ should have died in prison serving a life sentence without possibility of parole for our sins.
Maybe the Dubia can send him a strongly worded letter.
A 3000 page strongly worded letter.
I don’t think Pontiius Pilate was Catholic.
This l pope is a commie posing as a Catholic Pope.
Jesus certainly did not object to justified killing of people. And the Commandment, properly translated, would read, “Thou Shall Not Murder”. Murder is unjust killing.
In fact, Jesus suggested that anyone that sins against a child should have a millstone tied around their neck and thrown into the deepest sea.
The church has long forgotten it’s mission. We (they) are supposed to be saving souls, not lives and possessions. It matters not what we have or how long we live in this existence. But what comes after is sorta important. It lasts forever. THAT is what Jesus wants the Pope to worry about. Focus on the souls, not the body. The church should be silent on corporal punishment. “Give to Caesar what is Caeser’s.” Instead, evangelize and help the condemned find God in their waning hours by repentance. Save their souls, not their pitiful lives.
My thoughts exactly. If God is against the death penalty why did He pay it for us?
He [PF] has also long made prison ministry a mainstay of his vocation and even opposes life sentences, which he has called "hidden" death sentences. - http://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/ap-top-news/2018/08/02/pope-shifts-church-on-death-penalty-now-inadmissible
