Capital Punishment
Abolition of Death Penalty
Priests for Life would like to strongly echo the Holy Father's call for the abolition of the death penalty.
Human problems call for humane solutions.
Death, whether of an unborn child or of a convicted criminal, does not bring us closer to a civilization of love, but rather feeds the mistaken and dangerous notion that killing is a solution to our problems.
