@tweetmobb In the thirteenth century, St. Thomas Aquinas, like Augustine before him, justified the death penalty in certain circumstances. This teaching of Aquinas continued to form the basis of Church teaching through the twentieth century. https://t.co/uCZVObO4Nt

@tweetmobb And yet there it was as Church teaching from Aquinas until 2018. I personally don't find the new arguments persuasive, although I voted to eliminate the death penalty in my state in deference to our local ordinary.

[thebardofmurdock @bardofmurdock]

@tweetmobb I think this is an unfair (dare I say uncharitable?) argument. A person may not trust the state to implement the penalty (prudential judgment). It is another thing altogether to use that current judgement to deny the right (principle). And not an effective method of persuasion.

@ProtecttheFaith The 'fruit' of this work indicates a hatred of God or hatred of the Church or hatred of humanity. Or hatred of all three.

@BenjaminHawth17 @jordanbpeterson @elonmusk I assume you meant "can't" instead of "can."
