:::::Opposition to the death penalty is a way to try to deny [[Hell]].  But there's no denying it, as any rational system of justice requires both.  Death penalty on earth is mild punishment compared to the very real Hell described by Jesus.  Indeed, Jesus emphasized Hell more than Heaven.

:::::I don't know why you quote a catechism.  I doubt you even accept its basic teachings.  The Catholic Church is not Quaker, and it is not pacifist.  It has always accepted the death penalty and the justifications for war, and always will.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 09:10, 24 May 2009 (EDT)
