According to the current issue of The Tablet Catholic leaders have reacted strongly to US Attorney General William Barr’s announcement that federal executions would resume after a 16-year hiatus.
There are 62 inmates on death row in US federal prisons.
Bihsop Frank Dewane, chair of the bishops’ Committee on Domestic Justice and human Development said that he is deeply concerned that the US will return, after many years to the death penalty as a form of punishment.
Meanwhile Cardinal Raymond Burke objects to Pope Francis altering the Catechism to say the death penalty is always wrong.
