@BeeSugaree@caitoz No moron, that's not what I said at all. I blamed the men in those situations and called them predators. I also blame any person or social movement that enables them.
Actually, it had everything to do with it. Predators exploit the situation. They find women who are willing to let them move in. That's how they get access to children. When co-habitation was frowned upon, society had a built in defense mechanism against this. Go check out some actual statistics. Children living in homes with an unrelated male are exponentially more likely to be physically and sexually abused, even if you'd prefer not to hear it.
And how exactly I'm playing the victim card here is unknown. It makes sense only in your low IQ little brain. I made a point about co-habitation. I didn't make myself a central character in the narrative. So, as exited as you were to post a GIF, which is the only way mouth breathers like you can express yourselves, it doesn't fit the situation at all.
You dodged my question. You said, in a nutshell, that the death penalty shouldn't be applied because of "love." So my question is, if I apply the concept of love in the simplistic manner that you are applying it, how can any criminal punishment be justified? Why can't anyone say "WHOA, five years in prison? That's not very loving!!!"
I didn't actually take that position, as you mistakenly assert. I am asking you to come to terms with what I assert would occur if your logic was taken to its conclusion.
And the Old Testament isn't abolished by the New Testament. The ceremonial law is abolished as no longer necessary. That has nothing to do with the death penalty. Treating the OT and God the Father as if they are fundamentally at odds with the NT and God the Son borders on the Gnostic heresy.
Quoting St Thomas Aquinas is not a "dig and dig." He is one of the most influential Catholic thinkers in history. That's why he is a Church Doctor lol.
There is an entire deposit of faith, so, in the Catholic Church, what was said 800 years ago is just as important to what was said yesterday.
The anti-DP position is inconsistent with 2000 years of Church tradition. Almost every revered theologian, Church Father, and Church Doctor supported it. Anti-DP Catholics try to reconcile this fact with their position by saying the DP is not an intrinsic evil, but it's "inadmissible" in today's world, on the grounds that prisons were first invented in 2018 or something. That also ignores that the Church historically framed support for the DP in terms of justice, not merely a last resort only to be used if no other means of societal protection was available.
And the CCC also prohibits rash judgment, and says that judging one's soul belongs only to God, so I guess you shouldn't be implying to me that I'm going to hell. You like that part of the CCC also?
@aaronjlemma@MattWalshBlog So, if the death penalty shouldn't be carried out because we are bound to love thy neighbor, and we wouldn't execute those we love, does that preclude all punishment of criminals? After all, I wouldn't want to incarcerate someone I love, for even a week, let alone forever.
You say the death penalty deprives a man of the chance to repent. Saint Thomas Aquinas would like a word with you.
"St. Thomas Aquinas, in the Summa Contra Gentiles, said, against an objection that capital punishment would rob a criminal of the opportunity to repent and make his peace with God, that if a man would not make his peace with God when he knew for sure that he would 'die on the morrow,' then it would be a false assumption to think that he would do so if given more time."

Hey Father, instead of weeping over devil worshipping murderers, why don't you use your platform to advocate for Gary Blair, a guy who was in for a very low level offense, and who was tortured to death by prison staff in Chesterfield County, SC. No one arrested yet in over 3 months since he was found dead, and the media is totally ignoring it. It was an anti-White hate crime, so it won't get you a pat on the head and a treat from the secular liberal world, but go give it a try.
Calling out the invalidity of your logic makes me not Catholic? Talk about pride. Remove that wooden beam from your eye, Father, and maybe learn Catholicism before 2018. Not easy for your modernists, but give it a shot.
"Another kind of lawful slaying belongs to the civil authorities, to whom is entrusted power of life and death, by the legal and judicious exercise of which they punish the guilty and protect the innocent. The just use of this power, far from involving the crime of murder, is an act of paramount obedience to this Commandment which prohibits murder. The end of the Commandment is the preservation and security of human life. Now the punishments inflicted by the civil authority, which is the legitimate avenger of crime, naturally tend to this end, since they give security to life by repressing outrage and violence. Hence these words of David: In the morning I put to death all the wicked of the land, that I might cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the Lord." Catechism of the Council of Trent.
The Council of Trent, which according to Church teaching, is infallible dogma. Not approved by the ACLU, but the Holy Spirit likes it.
So, because liberals promote abortion (which you and I both seem to oppose) we have to be against the death penalty for undoubtedly guilty sadistic murderers, a position that liberals also have? Liberal support for one evil means we have to agree with them as to the supposedly evil nature of something else? That logic is absurd lol. Especially when you consider almost all Church fathers and doctors agreed that the death penalty was, when applied within reason parameters, completely just.
@ArchCordileone Your Excellency, you can start by repudiating Bishop Bambera's statement, censuring and demoting him, and deactivating the USCCB account, firing everyone who runs it, and starting a new account with a new staff.
There have been no "lynchings." These are all suicides or murders committed by another Black person, and there is not an ounce of evidence otherwise. You don't even cite any evidence. You merely say how these deaths make you "feel." This is pure innuendo and rhetorical deception. Your outlet should be shut down and all you should be arrested.
@bluelivesmtr Jeff Metcalf committed one of the most pathetic cuck jobs of all time in the immediate aftermath of his son's murder, and he STILL has anti-Whites coming after him. You can never grovel hard enough to satisfy them.
@JohnDoyle The devil is the inverter of the truth, so it only makes sense that those responsible for that statue would then accuse opponents of paganism.
Quick reminder that you are a disingenuous moron. Anyone can grab photos that are completely unrepresentative of the full story and proceed to give some hyper simplified bullshit narrative. Rittenhouse was stalked and attacked by a convicted child rapist who had just gotten out of a psych ward. Another one tried to bash his head in with a skateboard while Rittenhouse was on the ground (on video). The one so called victim who survived being shot admitted in open court that Rittenhouse didn't fire at him until AFTER he approached Rittenhouse and aimed a gun at him. But you knew all that, I'm sure! And your boyfriend Pretti was an unhinged fanatic who was there to obstruct law enforcement and started a fight. He was shot during a struggle (that he started) where he was likely reaching for his gun. So f*ck off, liar.
Not all RadTrad attacks on Leo are true, but I wouldn't go around proclaiming how based Leo XIV is either. From both him and Francis, there were major issues with the coddling of the outside world and of heretics in ways that caused total confusion and demoralization among the faithful. Leo XIV has done some good, but it must be considered together with the bad.
