:::::::Opposition to the death penalty is a position favored by people who deny the existence of [[Hell]]. Rest assured that no rational system of justice can exist without severe punishment, and the existence of Hell completely logical. Denial of its existence is illogical and pure folly.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 18:53, 24 May 2009 (EDT)

::::::::In the ''apostolic constituion'' '''[http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/apost_constitutions/documents/hf_jp-ii_apc_19921011_fidei-depositum_en.html fedei depositum]''' His Holiness John Paul II endorses the ''catechism'':
::::::::''The Catechism of the Catholic Church, which I approved 25 June last and the publication of which I today order by virtue of my Apostolic Authority, is a statement of the Church's faith and of Catholic doctrine, attested to or illumined by Sacred Scripture, Apostolic Tradition and the Church's Magisterium. I declare it to be a valid and legitimate instrument for ecclesial communion and a sure norm for teaching the faith. May it serve the renewal to which the Holy Spirit ceaselessly calls the Church of God, the Body of Christ, on her pilgrimage to the undiminished light of the kingdom! ''
::::::::The ''catechism'' may not stand forever, but it is the ''sure norm for teaching the faith''.
::::::::If you don't like the cathechism, fine. But an ''apostolic constitution'' it's a Papal bull, the highest level of decree issued by a Pope. It even outranks the (better known) Encyclical Letter - the next highest level...

Without Hell, there isn't an ultimate punishment or judgment by God. That serves liberals and atheists just fine in their attempts at relativism, revisionist history and moral equivalence. It is a discredited and transparent line of argument in all circles except those of the radical left and committed atheists. --[[User:TK|'''₮K''']]<sub><small><small>/Admin</small></small></sub><sup>[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]]</sup> 19:12, 24 May 2009 (EDT)
