The Death Penalty
Is the death penalty in the human consortium necessary to protect the individual? -Yes! say the leaders of miserable Europe, to whom the light of experience is of no benefit, and who continue to sadden us with the horror of man killing man. It's useless to say that the Gospel cries out to them: Don't kill, dunking the hand in blood. We have great trust in the fate of humanity; we even think the era when society will curse the memory of this sin is not far. Do you know what the punishment for crime is? In the permanence of the proven crime. A significant truth was proclaimed non long ago by a renowned French journalist: -God will not condemn Cain to die, but to live. You reflect on this, you reflect deeply on this solemn truth.
