Articles of Faith: Is the Death Penalty in Keeping with Catholic Doctrine (and Should Justice Scalia Resign)?

September has been execution season in the United States. In the past month, Texas executed two prisoners, Florida and Alabama each sent an inmate to the death chamber, and in Georgia, the controversial lethal injection of Troy Davis went forward despite last-minute consideration of his case by the U.S. Supreme Court.

The justices did halt the scheduled executions of two other Texas inmates, and Republican Governor John Kasich commuted the death sentence of an Ohio prisoner.

Texas - 2
Florida - 1
Alabama - 1
Georgia - 1

And how many murders were committed during the month in those states? My bet is that it was quite a bit higher than the 5 executed.

Genesis 9:6 is all you need to understand this issue.

liberals ALWAYS talk about "its for the childre" or "its for ALL the families". when death penalty comes for MURDERERS - all of the sudden, the liberals FORGET the family who has lost a member because of that MURDERER. the murderer should know exactly what they caused someone else. without it, society will fall. you got murderer incharge of the STATE DEPARTMENT

You quoted an Old Testament scripture.

The title of the article concerns the Catholic Church - a Christian Organization.

They are Christians, not Jews.

Come on . . . you can do better. Think before you type

True Christians believe the whole Bible. If you aren't one, at least do some RESEARCH before you type.
