→Capital punishment: Every human is created in the image of God. But the free will makes it possible to act vicious. Effective defense against that is essential, captial punishment isn't. It corrupts the truth: Innocent defendants are coerced by CP!

Pope Francis changed the catechism to oppose [[capital punishment]] in all cases, setting an end to a bloody 2000-year history of the support from church officials.<ref>Williams, Thomas D.

But [[Jesus Christ]] prevented its application when he was confronted with the issue: "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." (John 8:7) and he is the proof of its ulterior godlessness: He was killed by capital punishment while his executioners scoffed: "Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him." (Mark 15:32)
