Why It Matters
The message was published on the occasion of the World Day Against the Death Penalty.
"The death penalty is inadmissible because it attacks the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be protected and the requirements of justice can be safeguarded without resorting to capital punishment: effective detention systems have been developed, which protect citizens, but, at the same time, do not completely deprive the guilty of the possibility of redeeming themselves".
The Pope states this on X by adding the hashtag #NoDeathPenalty to his message, on today's World Day against the Death Penalty.
