@Vitus_osst What is there to debate? Call a spade a spade. Pope Leo is wrong. Paul rebuked Peter and we should rebuke Pope Leo. Jesus Christ himself had three years to teach against the death penalty and chose not to, even though he himself was slated for execution.
@Pontifex Teaching against the death penalty probably didn't help. I strongly suggest confession before surgery. Blaspheming the Holy Spirit is a serious offense. Not to worry, you're in Good Hands, whatever the outcome.
@Pontifex Oh Leo... sigh. You are mistaken, as was your predecessor. It's almost as if the Magesterium of the Catholic Church has been passed back to its Founder because He's back now. Walking the earth in plain sight.
@LilaGraceRose When you have to use this many words, your argument is weak. The death penalty promotes social order. Thomas Aquinas was right. Along with all Popes throughout history. This teaching is a grave error.
