Pope Francis has called for abolition of life imprisonment ,saying it offers revenge for victims instead of pursuing true justice.He told representatives from the International Association of Penal Law:
'It is impossible to imagine that states today cannot make use of another means than capital punishment to defend peoples' lives from an unjust aggressor.Media and politicians advocated 'violence and revenge, public and private, not only against those responsible for crimes, but also against those under suspicion, justified or not' Catholic teaching does not proscribe capital punishment.'All Christians and men of good faith are therefore called upon today to fight, not only for the abolition of the death penalty – whether it is legal or illegal and in all its forms... and this, for me, is linked to life sentences. A sentence of life (without parole) is a hidden death penalty.'
I luv this man

Personally I don't take this pope serious anymore. He is gradually running out of ideas !!!
ReplyDeleteabolish wetin? na slave trade? wat better judgment is thr for a really shocking n brutal crime? execution by injection or death by hanging? i rather dey stick to the life imprisonment
ReplyDeleteI think the pope doesn't understand that the evil in the world is greater than those living in it.........!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't Thınk the Jury System are still practıcıng death penalty. Even if you are setence to death there is no ındIvıdual that will want sıgn the death penalty so culprıt wıll be allowed to Rot in jaıl. All the same life ımprısonment is better than death penalty.. IT İŞ WELL

ReplyDeleteThis man and his attempt to go liberal is going to destroy the Catholic Church.
ReplyDeleteThis pope surely doesn't read the news and see the horrible crimes committed. So what should we do to people like ISIS, Boko Haram? Pet them for killing?
ReplyDeleteI think his age is getting to him. Seriously, with the way the world is ryt now???
