[U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops @USCCB]

As Catholics and Americans, we are blessed to be able to participate in our nation’s political and public life. With the midterm elections approaching in the United States, the Conference has been encouraging Catholics to exercise their right to vote and to do so in a way that places our faith before our politics. In voting, our Holy Father sets the example that encourages each citizen to exercise their civic responsibility. The U.S. bishops have emphasized that is not “who” one is voting for, but rather on encouraging Catholics to inform their conscience as they prepare to vote and to uphold human dignity and the common good in doing so.

Let us continue to pray for peace, so that wars throughout the world may cease and diplomatic solutions to conflicts may be found. Let us remember all the victims of hostilities, especially the weakest and most defenceless: children, the elderly and the sick. May the Lord comfort those who suffer and bless the work of those who bring aid and consolation.

[Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops @FlaCathBps]

The Catholic bishops of Florida have issued a new pastoral letter inviting Catholics and all people of good will to reflect more deeply on the death penalty in light of Catholic teaching and today’s criminal justice system.

The letter reaffirms the Catholic Church's longstanding commitment to the sanctity of human life and explains that, given today's secure methods of incarceration, capital punishment is no longer justified.

"In this letter, we wish to remind Catholics of the teaching of our Church against the use of the death penalty in situations—like our own—where bloodless means are sufficient to punish offenders and protect public safety," the bishops write.

The bishops argue that modern correctional systems provide effective means to protect society while holding offenders accountable, eliminating any moral necessity for executions.

"Given the effectiveness of current means of incarceration, there is no morally sound or commensurate reason for recourse to capital punishment, since it is no longer necessary to protect public safety and serves no morally legitimate purpose," the letter states.

The bishops also reject the claim that executions promote justice or reduce violent crime. Instead, they contend that the practice undermines society’s respect for the dignity of every human person.

"Rather than promoting life by deterring homicides, the death penalty promotes a culture of death by declaring that we can improve society by bringing about the death of a human being in our names," the bishops write.

The pastoral letter encourages Catholics to form their consciences in accordance with Church teaching and invites all people of good will to consider alternatives that uphold justice while respecting the inherent dignity of every human life.
