=== Capital punishment ===
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)
Pope Francis changed the catechism to oppose [[capital punishment]] in all cases, despite a 2000-year history of the Church supporting it in certain cases.<ref>Williams, Thomas D. (August 2, 2018).

Jesus was [[Crucifixion|crucified]] alongside [[Saint Dismas]] and a fellow criminal, and Saint Dismas said the death penalty for them as criminals was deserved.
