Catholisism

Strongly agree

No

Catholicism has been moving towards a stronger opposition to the death penalty in recent years. Pope Francis has declared the death penalty inadmissible in all cases, emphasizing the sanctity of life and the possibility of redemption for all individuals. This position is also supported by the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which states that non-lethal means of punishment should be used whenever possible.

No, too many people are innocently convicted

Catholicism's opposition to the death penalty is partly based on the concern for innocent people being wrongly convicted. The Church emphasizes the sanctity of life and the importance of justice, and the possibility of executing an innocent person goes against these principles. This concern has contributed to the Church's shift towards a stronger opposition to the death penalty in recent years.

Agree

No, spending life in prison is a harsher sentence

Catholicism supports the idea of using non-lethal means of punishment whenever possible, as it values the sanctity of life and the possibility of redemption for all individuals. Spending life in prison can be seen as a harsher sentence that allows for the possibility of repentance and rehabilitation, which aligns with the Church's teachings on mercy and forgiveness.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence

While Catholicism has historically allowed for the death penalty in cases of extreme necessity, its stance has shifted more towards opposition in recent years. The Church may still acknowledge the need for the death penalty in rare cases with undeniable evidence, but it generally prefers non-lethal means of punishment and emphasizes the sanctity of life and the possibility of redemption.

Disagree

Yes

Catholicism does not fully support the death penalty, as it values the sanctity of life. However, historically, the Church has allowed for the death penalty in cases of extreme necessity, such as when it is the only way to protect society from an individual. In recent years, the Church's stance has shifted more towards opposing the death penalty, with Pope Francis declaring it inadmissible in all cases.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but the victim’s family should decide the punishment

Catholicism does not support the idea of the victim's family deciding the punishment, as it believes in the importance of a fair and just legal system. Allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment could lead to emotional and biased decisions, which goes against the Church's teachings on justice and mercy. The Church also emphasizes forgiveness and reconciliation, which may not be possible if the victim's family is given the power to decide the punishment.
