:This is the true teaching of the Church and it clearly disfavors (though I admit does not completely ban) the death penalty. But how does this disfavoring fit with your view of the death penalty? [[User:AddisonDM|AddisonDM]] 22:41, 24 May 2009 (EDT)

:: There is a pacifist movement in the Catholic Church, partly designed to confuse the Church's opposition to abortion.  This pacifist movement is inconsistent with thousand of years of tradition, and also inconsistent with basic concepts of justice and retribution.  Neither the death penalty nor war is justified entirely by "defending human lives against the unjust aggressor."  Catholics are not Quakers, and never have been.  The Church endorsed the death penalty for heretics, and they were not threatening human lives.

:: All evidence is that the death penalty ''increases'' the possibility of redemption.  Retaining a person for the rest of his life in jail often leads to unexpected death or mental illness or dementia without the person fully confessing his sin and requesting redemption.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 23:51, 24 May 2009 (EDT)
