Pope Opposes Death Penalty Amid Washington Plan
On the occasion of International Anti-Death Penalty Day, Pope Leo XIV discussed his strong opposition to the death penalty, emphasizing that it violates the sanctity of life and deprives people of the chance for repentance. This came after the U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon) announced its intention to broadcast live a scheduled execution of a militant who killed 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009, the first of its kind in U.S. history. The Pope affirmed that justice can be achieved without resorting to the death penalty, considering it an assault on human dignity.
