For the abolition of the death penalty

September 2022

The Pope's prayer intention (September 2022)

We pray that the death penalty, which attacks the dignity of the human person, may be legally abolished in every country. 

Should Christians be opposed to the death penalty?

The Church is committed to opposing the death penalty because it is both cruel and unnecessary. Of course, someone who has committed a crime must receive appropriate punishment for their actions. But human life is something very precious. You may have many questions about this: the Tweeting with GOD app can help you find answers.

6.15 'Love your enemies', can it be done? Are there parallels between Catholicism and the military? How can I choose between serving myself or the common good?

8.44 What if I cannot forgive? How can I forgive my enemies?
